Motorcycle Safety – Moving the Agenda Forwards

This workshop will explore key themes around an area of transport safety which continues to need positive and constructive development and interventions for what is the UK’s most vulnerable road user group.

Speakers will build on presentations at previous Road Safety GB conferences and events to explore themes around motorcycle safety. These will include; what we already know, what we don't know, issues encountered when targeting motorcycle collisions, and examples of best practice approaches to tackling the issue.
