Twenty deaths on Suffolk's roads in 2010

LAST YEAR there were twenty deaths on Suffolk's roads. Just under a quarter of those killed were motorcyclists.

Are Suffolk's roads safe for motorcyclists?

This week Suffolk Police announced that they want motorcyclists across our county to become better and safer riders by attending a 'Bikesafe' motorcycle course.

In 2010, one-hundred people got involved with the course and PC Kevin Stark from the Roads Policing Unit described it as being 'very successful'.

PC Stark said: "No matter how experienced or careful you are, advanced rider training will improve the way in which you ride and increase your chances of riding safely, thus avoiding a crash or collision."

The Bikesafe workshops will be taking place throughout the year and will cost £55. For further information please email bikesafe@suffolk.pnn.police.uk or visit www.suffolkpolice.uk.

I am interested to know if you think motorcyclists drive safely on our county's roads.

Thats quite a lot of motorcyclists killed, no doubt more than a third were involved. Their decievingly difficult to see in the dark, especially when their travelling fast. Its also very easy to come off one in the English weather.
