(asked on 12th November 2024) - View Source

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, what plans they have to review the Compulsory Basic Training programme for motorcycles to improve road safety, given that in 2021, motorcycles comprised less than one per cent of traffic but accounted for 20 per cent of people killed or seriously injured on UK roads.

The Government takes road safety very seriously and reducing those killed and injured on our roads is a key priority. The Department for Transport (DfT) and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) are currently considering policy options in this area.
