Northern Ireland
“Motorcycle Safety in Northern Ireland – The Rider’s Perspective” aims to provide legislators, decision makers and motorcyclists with information that collates the expertise of motorcyclists, based on years of experience, consultation and lobbying.
It also aims to be a starting point for discussion and debate to develop a strategy for motorcycle safety in Northern Ireland by encompassing all stakeholders including the motorcycle community, individual riders, clubs, groups and associations.
The issues within this document are linked to the priorities for motorcycle safety identified during the International Transport Forum/OECD workshop on Motorcycling, held in Lillehammer, Norway in June 2008.

Right To Ride has published a report on “Risk and Motorcycles”, it is a critique of a report published by the Scottish Executive in 2006 entitled “Risk and Motorcyclists in Scotland”.
Right To Rides’ Elaine Hardy says, “the authors of the Scottish report have already determined that motorcycling is risky and the inevitable conclusion of the report is that the rider is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t (admit to being at risk).”

Right To Ride has published the report “ Near Miss Study of Motorcycles”.
During the months of May through to July 2009, a survey of 257 motorcyclists in Ireland (Northern and Southern) and Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) was carried out.
The purpose of the survey was to find out from motorcyclists, whether they had experienced situations in which they believed they could have crashed and/or been injured (but were able to keep control of their motorcycle) as well as the type of situations they had experienced.
