Campaign to reduce motorcycle collisions

Cheshire Police have launched an operation to reduce the number of serious and fatal motorcycle collisions on Cheshire’s roads.

Last night (Thursday 23rd August) officers were out meeting motorcyclists on the A49 in west Cheshire – a hotspot for motorcycle related accidents.

The operation is part of a UK-wide week of action which will see traffic officers stationed at collision hotspots across Cheshire to educate motorcyclists about the dangers of not riding safely. As part of the operation, officers will stop motorcyclists who are committing traffic offences, such as speeding and dangerous riding, as well as anti-social offences such as excessive noise.

The operation is being carried out during National Road Victim Month which is held throughout August to remember those who have been killed or injured on our roads.
