DEVITT SUPPORTS THINK! ROAD SAFETY
 The
Government has a target to reduce the number of people killed or
seriously injured on the roads by 40% by 2010. Broadly, the targets
of this strategy are being met but motorcyclists continue to be
disproportionately involved in fatal accidents. In 2005, motorcycles
represented 1% of road traffic but motorcyclists accounted for 18%
of all fatalities.
The THINK! motorcycle safety campaign targets both urban commuters
(motorists as well as motorcyclists) and leisure riders with specific
safety messages. However, motorcycle casualty figures remain high
and with 569 motorcyclists killed and 5,939 motorcyclists seriously
injured last year, there is no room for complacency.
