New figures from the Department for Transport (DfT) revealed motorcyclist deaths in Britain increased by nine per cent last year.

RAC road safety spokesperson Rod Dennis said the “alarming” figures were “more evidence of the need for a renewed focus on saving lives on the roads, so we look forward to the publication of the Government’s road safety strategy”.
