Traffic Constable Jamie Lord said: “It’s worrying that almost half of all serious collisions in the new year so far have involved motorbikes or mopeds.

"With the milder weather coming this weekend, we know more motorcyclists will be out and about in the county, so we want to make it clear that all road users need to be extra careful and look out for each other.

“Most collisions between cars and motorbikes or mopeds are down to driver/rider error, so drivers must take care and look out for all road users.”
