Police issue Easter safety warning to motorcyclists

The long Easter bank holiday is here.

And for many people it will be a welcome opportunity to get out and about on their motorbike in the glorious North West countryside.

However we know motorcyclists are some of our most vulnerable road users – 72 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a collision than car users - and the bank holiday will mean traffic is heavier than normal.

So while we want you to have a brilliant day on your bike, we also want you to make it home safely.

If you plan to go for a ride out, please give this video a watch first
