Police Scotland officers have engaged with more than 1000 motorcyclists as part of efforts to prevent harm on Scotland’s roads.
The campaign ran from 20 March to 27 September, a period when motorcycle use typically increases across Scotland.
Through targeted patrols, Police met with 777 motorcyclists across key riding routes.
Rider Refinement sessions, delivered nationwide in partnership with IAM Roadsmart, saw 320 riders taking part to develop their riding skills, awareness and decision-making.
Alongside engagement and education, enforcement was also a focus, with 292 offences by motorcyclists detected, including speeding and careless and dangerous driving.
Offences involving other road users were also identified during campaign activity, highlighting the shared responsibility of all road users.
Chief Superintendent Scott McCarren, Head of Road Policing, said: “Motorcyclists remain among the most vulnerable road users, and activity from this year’s campaign underlines the continued importance of motorcycle safety and the role we all have to play in keeping our roads safe.
“Motorcyclists make up approximately 1% of traffic on our roads, yet account for almost 20 percent of all road fatalities. As the busier spring and summer months come to a close and our campaign concludes, our work and focus continue.
“Our message is not aimed at any one group. Whether you are riding a motorcycle or driving another vehicle, the choices you make can have serious consequences.
“Speed, inattention, and poor decision making can have a devastating impact on families and communities. We remain committed to taking action against those who put themselves and others at risk and will continue working alongside partners to improve road safety for all users.
“We cannot prevent rider harm alone. Motorcycle safety and road safety is a shared responsibility, and everyone using our roads has a part to play.”
