PC ROY Hindmarsh, of the North Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership offered this safety advice to motorists:
For motorcyclists:
Never overtake at junctions
Never overtake on unbroken white lines or bends in the road
Never squeeze through between oncoming vehicles and the one you are overtaking
Always wear a full set of quality protective gear
Never ride in the blind spot of a car or van
Never overtake on the inside of other bikes, especially on bends in the road
Always ride at least two seconds behind the bike in front
Always slow down for bends in the road
Never do wheelies - this could endanger other road users
Never pass closely by cars or other bikes to scare the driver.
For car drivers:
Always look over your right shoulder before overtaking, setting off or opening the car door
Always look for bikes when pulling out of junctions
Always keep at least two seconds away from the car or bike in front
Never squeeze between oncoming vehicles and the car or bike being overtaken
When overtaking, never cut in on bikes, especially in the rain
Always look over the left shoulder when turning left and leaving a roundabout
Never dazzle bikes with headlights
Never squeeze alongside bikes at junctions
Always give bikes space in traffic jams
Never use screenwash or throw out cigarette ends when there is a bike behind.
