You may recall a few weeks ago I asked what campaign you would like to see run relative to motorcycling safety. The overwhelming feedback I got was loose gravel and poor re-surfacing/re-dressing of road surfaces. Something that has not been looked at much in the past. Well, we are looking to at this as our potential motorcycle safety campaign for 2017. However, in order to get some decent ammunition, I need to get an idea of how many people have been affected by poorly resurfaced roads and/or loose chippings. This does not include pot holes which is a different issue and which already has various campaigns up and running. So, you response to the poll/survey would be appreciated, and also an indication as to whether you would be prepared to share your story for our website and campaign material, whatever that might be when decided on.
I haven't, nor do I know anyone who has, but like many bikers I change my riding style according to the reduced grip on the road and actively avoid riding on those roads where possible to reduce the risk which has been increased by those taking the decision to use this resufacing method.
