A CAMPAIGN aimed at motorcyclists has been launched to help reduce casualties and deaths on the county's roads.

The Safer Roads Partnership in Warwickshire and West Mercia has launched its 'Think Bike' campaign after it emerged there had been 37 fatalities and 464 serious injuries following collisions involving motorcycles in the last three years.

The campaign is targeting both motorcyclists and car drivers with the aim of increasing general awareness and offering additional training.

Roadside posters are being put up along some key motorcycle routes throughout the region, highlighting routes where both motorcyclists and drivers need to take care and be more aware.

As part of the campaign the partnership is also targeting bikers who haven't ridden during the winter months and is encouraging them to make a few simple safety checks before getting back on it for the new motorbike season.

The partnership also offers a 'Take Control' motorcycle skills enhancement course for bikers who want to brush up on their skills.

The Safer Roads Partnership will also be supporting Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police on various operations throughout the spring and summer months, targeting dangerous and anti-social riders on targeted routes across the region.
