Motorcycle helmets get official safety rating
Safety
The way we buy motorcycle helmets is set to change forever says Road Safety Minister Stephen Ladyman with every motorcycle helmet being graded on its performance in the world’s most rigorous safety tests. Speaking exclusively to MCN the Minister revealed that all motorcycle helmets will be scored in a similar way to the NCAP safety ratings with new cars so that consumers will know exactly how safe their next lid is in the event of an accident.

Speed risk stats cut
Safety
The Department of Transport (DfT) has revealed that just four per cent of injury crashes involved someone exceeding a speed limit in 2005.

The annual report by the DfT has revealed that 'Failed to look properly' was the most frequently reported contributory factor, and was involved in 32 per cent of accidents, with five of the six most common factors involving driver or rider error or reaction. In an official release 'Exceeding the speed limit'0 is grouped with 'Going to fast for the conditions', and was reported in 15 per cent of all accidents.
