Grieving daughter welcomes biker safety launch

Road safety officers in Norfolk have made training videos for motorcyclists to try to reduce the number of deaths on our roads.

From the beginning of January to mid-March, two motorcyclists have been killed in crashes - this compares to zero for the same period last year and 21 people have been seriously injured.

The downloads offer advice on overtaking, cornering and anticipating dangers.

The campaign is being supported by Cara Zagni, 21, from Thorpe Marriott, who lost her father in a motorcycle crash two years ago. She was influenced to choose a career in nursing as a result.

Ms Zagni has praised the downloads and says she hopes the awareness will reach more people.

Norfolk County Council has teamed up with the Police to provide new and free motor cycle skill downloads, which it hopes will encourage motorcyclists to improve their riding.

The 'Think Bike' campaign is also relaunching across Norfolk to remind motorists to be especially aware of those travelling on two wheels.
