A new road safety campaign aimed at motorcyclists has been launched in Leeds.

West Yorkshire authorities along with Safer Roads Humber and South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership have launched the campaign to highlight the perils of being a motorbike rider on the region’s roads. It comes in the light of figures which show that motorbike riders make up just 1% of traffic on the roads but are involved in 21% of road accidents.

Riders themselves have taken part in the campaign which features slogans including 'someone's son', 'someone's wife' and 'someone's brother’. A website has been launched and there will also be radio adverts as well as posters, leaflets and a 15-foot long advertising van.

Dave Glanville, motorcycle road safety officer in West Yorkshire said: “We’re hopeful that riders themselves will join in with the campaign by wearing the tabards that re-enforce the message to other road users that we’re not just anonymous faceless riders on bikes, we’re real people with family and friends and we all need to look out for each other on the roads.”

Client feedback

Monika made the whole Wil process very simple & was more than happy to explain any concerns we had.
Jane
was a CIACA case, great service, professional, kept informed all the way
Faris
I found Sidraa to be very thorough, proactively raising questions about the conveyance even before I had asked her myself. All communication was clear and regular updates provided, which was very helpful.It was a stressful process (what house move isn’t!)due to an issue dragging on, no fault on the Solicitors’ part but meant exchange and completion in quick succession! Ultimately, Sidraa and Tom worked very hard to achieve the completion date everyone wanted so thank you 🙏
Dorothy
Emily was a very patient and supportive lady, as we were not very clued in to dealing with some of the internet issues and she guided us through it.Emily made altering our wills a breeze, would use this firm Winston solicitors 100 percent for all our business.
Tina
Leasa and the team at Winston solicitors have been really good. Leasa was very thorough in her work helping me with my house purchase. I can highly recommend her and Winston solicitors for conveyancing.
Maria
Winston Solicitors are the best solicitor firm I have dealt with. They helped sell my house. Sidraa and Tom were always communicating with me and turned things round quickly when I was going out of the country. I would definitely use them again and that’s not the case usually with solicitor firms.
Rob
I received a welcoming and efficient service from Monika at Winston’s. A lovely, friendly lady that was very professional at the same time. I would use Winston’s again.
Michelle
Initially the person that was allocated to me was not very good and I didn’t get any compensation but when I changed the person and pushed for review to look at again I was able to get the compensation awarded. It did take time nearly 2 years.
