Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service is mounting a campaign to promote motorcycle safety.

Casualty reduction manager Paula Wellings said: ’This month sees the launch of our ‘Biker season’ campaign where we go along to ‘Bike Nights’ across the county to engage with riders with a positive message of  “enjoy your riding and get home safely by giving yourself time to react”. 

’This year we are also introducing the ‘Biker Down’ scheme developed by Kent Fire and Rescue and adopted by 17 other fire and rescue services across the country. 

’The scheme aims to provide training and advice to riders about what to do should they witness or come across a collision.’
