Safer Summer Wheels
Safer Ryedale are preparing to help cut the number of motorcycle
crashes on the region's roads. Road safety has been
identifiedas one of the top four priorities for the
partnership and data illustrates that Ryedale has the fourth worst
record of fatal road traffic collisions in the Yorkshire
region.
As the summer months attract motorcyclists back onto the
region's highways, Safer Ryedale is stepping up its 'Safer Summer
Wheels' campaign as part of the partnership initiative to
reduce casualties.
The 'Safer Summer Wheels' Event, aimed predominantly at
motorcyclists, will take place on Sunday 4th July at Helmsley
Market Place from 10am until 4pm. There will be stands with
motorcycle dealers, the RAC and other displays. A
local motorcycle training school, 'Scarborough Rider
Training', will be available to answer your questions about
learning to ride a motorcycle, from your first ride through to
advanced training.
The event will also be attended by North
Yorkshire County Council Road Safety Officers, fire-fighters,
local police and the ambulance service who will provide safety
tips, leaflets and freebies. Gail Snowden of the Safer
Ryedale Partnership said, " We are committed to making Ryedale a
safer place to live, work and visit and I would encourage people to
visit us on the day, when there will be an opportunity
to question those present, take advice on riding safely and to
speak with like minded people."
