NYRF makes young rider resource available FOC
The National Young Rider Forum (NYRF) is making a series of seasonal infographics, designed to improve the safety of young motorcycle riders, available to download and use free-of-charge.
The infographics have been used on social media over the last year, as part of separate themed campaigns.
The NYRF are making them available in support of Project Edward, Global Road Safety Week and the RoadPeace Challenge.
It is in the spirit of sharing free resources across the country (and beyond), to enable all road safety teams – regardless of budget – to communicate key messages to all road users, but particularly young motorcyclists.
