Motorbike Insurance

Motorists in Suffolk have been warned to take extra care on roads in the region this winter following a motorcycle accident over the weekend, a local news source reports.

Two riders came off their vehicles at the Copdock Mill interchange of the A12 on Saturday, with one suffering injuries severe enough to warrant a hospital trip, the Suffolk Evening Star states.

It may be that such an incident sees drivers lose out on their bike insurance policies, as cover firms may see fit to increase the cost of deals in order to match the area's perceived risk.

A spokesperson for the local constabulary commented on the need to "take extra care" when using the region's highways, the news source added.

"The roads are still quite damp in places at the moment and they can get slippery because of the grit that has been put down," the official commented.

Meanwhile, council bosses in Sheffield have announced that they will be using molasses in grit this season in an effort to improve road surfaces and reduce the number of accidents over the period.
