The new film from motorcycle safety campaign Live Fast Die Old by The Scottish Government and Road Safety Scotland^*, launched today.   

Part of the campaign’s Breathtaking Roads series, the film highlights the thrill of riding while also reminding bikers to enjoy Scotland’s roads safely.

Despite accounting for less than 1% of all road traffic in Scotland bikers account for 7% of casualties¹, with bends and overtaking among the riskiest manoeuvres. ²

Shot on the scenic Isle of Skye, the short film uses striking slo-mo footage to highlight the importance of considering the entire picture and every potential hazard before making the decision to overtake. It urges bikers exploring Scotland’s roads to ‘take your time to take it all in’.

The film is available to watch here – Watch the Breathtaking Roads film
