Motorcycles make up around 1% of traffic on Scotland's roads but account for 18% of fatalities.
This highlights the disproportionate vulnerability of motorcyclists on our roads.
Our national aims to
•Promote safe and responsible motorcycling/driving.
•Address the behaviours that could contribute to the risk of road traffic collisions through engagement and enforcement where necessary.
•Reduce the number of casualties and improve driver/rider behaviour.
If you’re a rider looking to refresh your skills, Rider Refinement courses for 2026 are ongoing.
These one-day sessions run across the country between April and October and are delivered by Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit, supported by IAM RoadSmart.
