TfL urges riders and drivers to watch out for each other as too many young lives are lost each year | Transport for London

Transport for London TfL urges riders and drivers to watch out for each other as too many young lives are lost each year TfL wants to highlight the vulnerability of powered two-wheel vehicle users, as demand for them has surged throughout the pandemic. TfL and the police are encouraging road users to watch out for each other in a new advertising campaign during Global Road Safety Week, following a worrying number of young men being tragically killed or seriously injured in motorcycle collisions. People riding motorcycles face the greatest likelihood of death or serious injury of anyone driving on the roads. Provisional data for 2020 shows that 31 people in London were tragically killed in a collision involving a power two-wheel (PTW) vehicle, such as a motorcycle, moped or scooter and 12 of these collisions are believed to involve no other vehicle.

Safety fears as driverless cars steer a course for UK

We can shift gears and we can steer the bike without a rider, but the fully automatic motorcycle is not our goal, said BMW Active Motorcycle Safety expert, Stefan Hans. This is about development and if we can create a bike that can cope with all riding tasks we can offer it as an assistance system for the rider. Technical advancement for safety has been much slower for bikes. For example, ABS on cars came ten years before it did on bikes, traction control 20 years later. Cars now can intervene before something dangerous happens and we need to learn more about bikes to help riders avoid getting themselves into a critical situation.
