The number of motorcyclists dying on our roads has gone-up significantly | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
this year that's the warning from two Chief Constables. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
They're blaming excessive speed for the rise in injuries | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
and fatalities in the North Wales and Dyfed Powys force areas. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
The Police say they'll continue to support schemes which educate | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
There are around 54,000 motorcycles licensed on the roads of Wales. | :00:39. | :00:55. | |
And with fuel prices making cars more expensive to run, the numbers | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
are growing. But it's a sobering thought that the | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
risk of being killed or seriously injured on a motorbike is around 78 | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
times greater than if you are driving a car. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Last year, there were 17 motorcycle deaths on the roads here. The lowest | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
since records began. But already this year, that figure's | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
almost been matched in just two of our force areas. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
In pow Ritz, there have been 11 deaths already, up from two last | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
year and in North Wales, five, up from four. -- in Powys. Police say | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
the beautiful countryside of Mid and North Wales is a draw for bikers, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
but excessive speeds, particularly on bends, is causing accidents. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
The typical person buying a bike is between 35 and 50. People who've got | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
a bit of disposable income, they are going back to bikes and not getting | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
any further training, going out not regularly so they're permanent | :01:58. | :01:58. | |
novices, if you like. They are buying big powerful bikes and | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
getting into trouble. As we get older, our reactions get slower and | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
eye sight starts to go. It's really important to take on some further | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
training. The police say they'll continue to | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
support schemes like Bike Safe which educates riders about the risks of | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
riding inappropriately. This is the latest scene of a fatal | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
motorcycle accident. At the weekend, a 53-year-old man was killed here. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
Despite motorbikes making up just 0.2% of traffic on our roads here in | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
Wales, 39% of all fatal and serious casualties are motorcyclists, a | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
figure that the police want to see reduesed. -- reduced. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |

Senior politicians from both Labour and the Conservatives in Wales are | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
