Description

Drones are buzzing above Scottish roads in a bold new pilot to make motorcycling safer—no tickets, just conversations. Launched July 18th in Lothian and Scottish Borders, the program uses drone footage to spot risky riders, then trained officers approach them for safety chats and optional training. While education is the focus, some riders still face warnings or defect notices. With motorcycles accounting for 18% of road deaths despite being a tiny fraction of traffic, this trial could reshape how Scotland tackles motorbike safety nationwide.
