West Yorkshire motorcycle safety campaign Launched

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

Thank You to Sidraa Razaq to handle the purchase of a house I was buying as a gift, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From the very beginning she was very professional, approachable, and made what could have been a stressful process feel completely straightforward.She took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated at each stage, and dealt with all the paperwork and legalities with efficiency and care. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly gave me real peace of mind throughout.I would highly recommend Sidraa Razaq to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely supportive.

Winston Solicitors handled our recent house purchase and sale and provided an excellent service throughout. Sidraa Razaq, supported by Tom McIlroy, exhibited an outstanding professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness from te moment we first made contact, all of which made what was at times a less than straightforward transaction much easier to navigate. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
