Bikers beware in Christmas traffic

Bikers may need to be extra cautious in Christmas traffic, especially on the frantic Friday next week, and on Christmas Eve.

Drivers should, of course, ensure they are paying full due care and attention when out on the roads, but we all know that doesn’t always happen. Commuting in loads of traffic in the dark and with the cold, wet weather battering outside isn’t nice. The extra Christmas traffic is frustrating enough. The heater on full blast inside a car can make some drivers tired and lazy.

It all adds up to a dangerous time for bikers who could end up injured in an accident by an impatient or fatigued driver!

The duty is on the drivers, but…

The duty is of course on the drivers – as it is for all road users – to drive safely. But in tiresome Christmas traffic, mistakes will happen.

That’s why it’s always prudent for bikers to be more aware during potentially dangerous times on the road. Nothing changes in terms of liability for a motorbike accident. A rider can still make a motorcycle injury compensation claim without the worry of time of the year being used as an excuse.

It’s not an excuse that will help them.

But it still pays to be more careful. Without the protection of a car, bikers are often more seriously injured.
