Motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable road users.
Between 2015 and 2024, 67 riders lost their lives and 595 were seriously injured on Staffordshire roads.
The most common cause of collisions? Poor observation — by riders and other road users. We’re asking everyone to Look Again to help save lives. 🙏 Before You Ride 🛠️If your bike has been off the road, or you’re returning after a break: Make sure your bike is in full working orderGet it serviced regularly by a professionalTake a few gentle rides to rebuild confidenceDon’t feel pressured to keep up with othersConsider BikeSafe to develop safer riding skills
