Motorcycles: Safety
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they are giving to the safety benefits of a crash detection service for motorcyclists.
- Answer
-
The Government treats road safety seriously and is committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads. On 7 January 2026, we published our new Road Safety Strategy, setting out our vision for a safer future on our roads for all.
While there is no mandatory requirement for motorcycles to be fitted with collision notification systems, aftermarket products exist that are promoted as being compatible with motorcycle riding. The Government has not assessed the safety benefits of these systems.
