Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service have recently seen an increase in the number of motorbikes on British roads and, as a result of this, there has been an increase in the number of motorcyclists that have been hurt in recent years. We are working with motorcyclists across Cheshire to reduce the number of casualties on the county’s roads.

• In Cheshire over a recent two-year period there were 1,058 motorcyclist casualties, 34% of whom were killed or seriously injured.
• Over the last three years motorcycle casualties have accounted for 22% of all road fatalities in Cheshire.
• Motorcyclists are 55 times more likely than car drivers to be killed or seriously hurt in an accident.
