View answerThe Road Safety Strategy 2007-2012 sets out a range of measures to be undertaken in relation to motorcycle safety, including the development of a national motorcycling safety strategy and the introduction of compulsory basic training for motorcyclists. The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has undertaken consultation processes on both a national motorcycling safety strategy and the introduction of compulsory basic training for motorcyclists. The RSA will bring forward in due course proposals for my consideration.
