Safety during the Santa run
We want to ensure that everyone taking part in the 2013 Santa run has a
safe and enjoyable day. Please help us to do so by reading this safety
brief in full.
1. Road-worthiness
Make sure that both
themselves and their vehicle is legal to be used on the road. This
includes having valid insurance, Road Fund Licence and where appropriate
MOT. Learners should be displaying valid L plates. Bikes should be safe
and roadworthy.
2. Speed
Speed limits must be adhered
to at all times. There may be Police present during the ride and
monitoring people heading to the starting points or leaving after the
event. Anyone caught breaking the speed limit will be liable to be
prosecuted.
3. Rules of the Road
All traffic signals
and directions should be followed at all times. This includes stopping
at red lights, giving way to other road users that have right of way,
and adhering to the Highway Code and UK Traffic Laws at all times.
4. Riding Position
We would ask that where it is safe to do so all riders adopt the
staggered riding position to help keep the procession of bikes as short
as possible. IE. Rider 1 near the kerb with the following rider keeping a
safe distance behind and riding slightly off side. The next rider goes
back to the near side and so on as shown below.
Please also
ensure that on single carriage ways, all riders stick to their side of
the road and do not cross the white line on bends, potentially putting
themselves into the pathway of oncoming traffic.
5. Overtaking
Under no circumstances should there be any overtaking whilst on the
ride. Please stick to your position within the ride. The only overtaking
permitted is by the designated marshals, so please be alert and aware
of their presence and if safe to do so make room for them to overtake.
6. High Vis
We would ask that anyone taking part in the toy run refrains from
wearing Orange Hi Viz Clothing whilst taking part on the ride. This will
assist other riders being able to identify the official marshals who
will all be wearing Orange Hi Viz jackets
Breakdowns
Should anyone be unfortunate enough to break down or have a mechanical
problem during the ride, please safely signal and pull over, park up and
wait for the support vehicle to assist you. They will be at the tail
end of the ride to pick up anyone unfortunate enough to breakdown.
8. Other Road Users
During the ride please always be considerate to other road users and
pedestrians. Please keep revs (and noise) down through built up areas
and villages.
9. Please be aware the toy run route will be
fully marshalled giving clear indications of the route to be taken. If
you arrive at a junction and there is no apparent marshal accept this as
a straight on direction.
Thank You

the 10th November for what is set to be a day of fun for all those
