Motorbike safety website launches across Scotland

Motorcyclists in Scotland are to be provided with safety guidance by police following the launch of a new online resource.

Aroundthecorner.org.uk is being introduced across the country after being successfully implemented in the Borders region and is part of the Around the Corner road safety campaign.

With content written by police motorbike users, the site aims to give riding tips, route maps and information on weather, road conditions and local events that are relevant to Scottish motorcycle riders.

The initiative has won the support of all of Scotland's police forces, which believe it can play a vital role in minimising the number of accidents involving motorcyclists across the nation.

Sergeant Chris More of Grampian Police's motorcycle section said: "Any campaign designed to reduce motorcycle casualties and which offers riders safety advice and riding tips has to be worthwhile and I hope that people find the website informative and useful."

The Around the Corner campaign is now entering its fourth year and is the country's first official motorcycle safety initiative.
