👮 TO EVERY POLICE FORCE ACROSS THE UK 🏍️
Here’s something I need to say, and I know every single biker reading this will agree with me.
Today I was riding:
✅ Under the speed limit
✅ Keeping a full 3 second gap between me and the car in front
✅ In the correct road position, exactly as taught by RoSPA
✅ Main headlight on, fully visible
✅ In light rain, so I was riding even more carefully
What happened? A Land Rover waiting at a junction watched the two cars in front of me drive past, then pulled out straight out in front of me.
I wish this was a one-off.
Sadly, it happens to at least one of us every single day.
We see you, Police Forces. We see you targeting bikers everywhere – pulling us over, checking our speed, our bikes, our licences, penalising us for the smallest things. You spend so much time and effort making sure we ride safely.
But here’s the thing: it doesn’t matter how safely we ride, how much training we do, how visible we make ourselves… if car drivers still don’t look for us. 🚘
It would be amazing if you put half as much effort into teaching car drivers to actually see motorbikes. To look properly at junctions. To check their blind spots. To understand that we are smaller, faster, and easily missed.
It’s one thing to teach bikers to ride more safely. But even when we do absolutely everything right, we are still at risk, because drivers simply don’t “see” us.
You target the victims of these accidents – the ones who train, who follow the rules, who do everything right. How about you start targeting the killers too? The ones who pull out on us, who cut us up, who drive without looking, the ones who are the real danger on our roads.
We don’t need more pressure on bikers. We need safer roads, and that starts with educating and enforcing rules for every road user – not just us.
