Question 1:
Middle-aged men will be helped improve their driving skills during a campaign to reduce bike crashes and improve road safety.
RideSafely campaign, organised together with the local police, is launched by Sidston Bikers' Action Group and will offer on-the-road training and advice.
A spokesman for the road safety charity, Brake, said: “We believe that riders would be required to take a refresher course every ten years and the regrettable accidents in the Sidston area are evidence to reinforce that view.
“The Bikers' Action Group is, however, to be congratulated on the action it has taken.”
In Sidston last year, five riders in their late 40s died in road accidents and three months ago a biker in his 50s was killed in wet weather on the country road.
The number of riders aged 40 to 49 who has been killed or badly injured has increased from an annual figure of 709 to 1,382 nationwide in the past decade.
Inspector Tom Staddon, of Sidston Police, said: “Recent European Legislation will require motorcyclists to take an additional test before being allowed to ride a bike of more than 500cc but this may not come into force fully in the UK until 2013.
“That will be too late for some bikers so we are pleased to make officers available to work with Bikers' Action Group.”
These incidents were all tragic examples of the fashion among middle-aged men for buying powerful bikes which they are incapable of riding them.
Inspector Tom said: “Loss of control is the biggest crashes cause for bikes of 500cc or more. It's a tragedy when a man dies because he's out for a thrill on a bike that he doesn't know how to handle properly.
Charles Joy, 48, of 17 Chubb Street, Sidston, said: “It's the acceleration that gives you the buzz. I love it and I don't think I'm a danger on the road but I've seen some who are.”
