While the vast majority of motorcyclists demonstrate a good standard of riding, a small minority choose to use the roads irresponsibly, putting themselves and other road users in danger. Police across Wales will target these individuals, giving the clear message that poor and anti-social riding behaviour will not be tolerated.

Even the most experienced motorcyclist can benefit from post-test training, or an assessment of their riding, and we are urging motorcyclists to take advantage of the opportunities made available in Wales - many of which are supported with Welsh Government funding - to enhance rider skills and knowledge.

Before every ride, preparation is key to your safety. Take a close look at your kit and your bike to ensure that everything is in full working order, paying particular attention to the condition of the tyres, brakes and lighting - it could save your life.  Just as important is ensuring that you are well prepared; never ride angry, tired, or impaired by drink or drugs.

Partners in Road Safety Wales share a common goal - that residents and visitors to Wales use the roads responsibly and arrive home safely.
