Too Hot To Handle Survey
The Shiny Side Up Partnership has published this report which shows that sports bike riders are unaware of the real hazards they face on the road.
The Shiny Side Up Partnership was initiated in 2001 in response to a significant increase in fatal crashes involving the riders of sportsbikes in Nottinghamshire.
The partnership comprises road safety practitioners in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland, along with Nottinghamshire Police.
During the 2002/2003 racing season at Donington Park the Partnership carried out the Too Hot To Handle survey, which involved questioning 370 riders.
The report examines the profile of sports bike riders and their attitudes towards riding, their behaviour and their perception of the behaviour of other drivers, their knowledge of publicity and educational campaigns, and their response to these campaigns.
