Implement road safety strategy to protect motorcyclists

Closed 42 signatures

What the petition asks

Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. Many feel unseen and forgotten in public safety campaigns & driver training. We want a national strategy that prioritises motorcycle awareness for all road users, improves driving education & prioritises infrastructure to make roads safer.
For many riders, the motorcycle is not just a mode of transport—it’s a lifeline or support. Riders report it is a tool for emotional resilience, yet we feel this connection is rarely acknowledged or supported.

We want:
A national campaign focused on motorcyclist safety and visibility.
Strengthen driving tests to better educate motorists about motorcycles.
Recognise mental health benefits.
Engage with charities leading this work at community level.
