Great Roads Great Rides 2

26 February 2009

The Highways Agency is following up on its highly successful Driver Information Programme for motorcyclists – Great Roads Great Rides - with a new interactive DVD-ROM.

"Great Roads Great Rides 2" is a new resource to help riders 'read the road' successfully and stay safe while enjoying their biking experience. It was launched 0n 25 February at the annual RoSPA Road Safety Congress in Blackpool.

Stuart Lovatt, Safety Action Plan Co-ordinator for the Highways Agency And RoadSafe advisory panel member, said:

"We were delighted with the response to the original 'Great Roads, Great Rides' DVD, with 600,000 copies distributed since its first release in 2006. When we were planning 'Great Roads Great Rides 2', we wanted to build on that success and listened to what the riders themselves said they wanted.
