THINK! Essential Guide to Protective Gear
Wear the right gear
Fall off your bike and tarmac will shred through your jeans in seconds. Wearing the right gear is just as important to your safety as servicing your motorcycle and knowing how to ride it.
Wear bright or florescent gear during the day and reflective gear at night
Bikers must wear a protective jacket, gloves, boots and trousers
SHARP Helmet Safety Scheme
Motorcyclists are required by law to wear a helmet.
In 2007, the Department for Transport introduced a helmet safety rating system called SHARP (Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme).
Whilst all helmets must meet minimum safety requirements, SHARP uses a wider range of tests to give riders more information about how much protection a helmet will offer in the event of a crash. Helmets are given a safety rating of between 1 and 5 stars.
