Recent figures from the Department for Transport show a decline in the number of motorcycle users killed or seriously injured (KSI) in accidents for the most recent year stats are available for (2023).
The KSI figures have trended steadily downwards over the last decade, bottoming out in 2020 due to the pandemic lockdowns, which lowered traffic levels nationally and reduced the opportunities of bikers to be involved in an accident. Since then numbers have gradually returned to the trend, with the number of deaths in 2023 falling to 306, the lowest since 2014, excluding Covid-afflicted 2020.
