TyreSafe in conjunction with BikeSafe are hoping
to raise awareness of the importance of motorcycle and scooter tyre
safety with a campaign running through March - 17th March 2008
Through March
TyreSafe the non-profit making
organisation promoting tyre safety is running a campaign to raise
awareness of the importance of safe tyres amongst motorcycle and scooter
riders.
Badly worn or
defective tyres can significantly increase the chances of
bike accidents occurring often leading to the riders sustaining
serious injuries or worse.
|
The campaign hopes to highlight the importance of ensuring
that motorcycles and scooters regularly have their tyres inspected for legal
tread depth or better, correct tyre pressures and damaged tyres, with the
necessary corrective measures being taken where necessary.
TyreSafe has received support for their initiative from
BikeSafe, the UK's police road
safety campaign. The campaign will culminate at a major bike safety show
which is to be held at the police training centre in Hendon, North London
during the final week of March. Over recent years congestion, the drive to
reduce CO2 emissions and big rises in the cost of fuel have seen a big rise
in the number of bikes and scooters being used, which in turn has also seen
a increase in the number of
road accidents
involving these methods of transport.
Highlighting the importance of
good tyre
maintenance should help to reduce the number of
bike
accidents if riders carry out the checks and actions they are advised to
do.
Not only do motorcyclists and scooter riders increase the
risk of injury, or worse to themselves and others by riding with badly
maintained tyres, there is also the chance that their insurance will
increase if they do need to make a
bike accident claim. |
