Stop manhole threat to bikers

摘要

Local authorities are being asked to support a new campaign, 'Get a Grip', designed to reduce casualties to motorcyclists by offering consistent road surfaces.As key drivers of the 'Get a Grip' campaign, composite access cover manufacturer Structural Science Composites (SSC) and rider lobby body, Motorcycle Action Group (MAG), aim to promote the use of composite access covers to provide a consistent road surface, which saves lives and money.According to MAG, the worn, cracked, displaced or stolen metal manhole cover poses one of the greatest threats to stability and traction for both motorcyclists and cyclists. This can be frightening at best and catastrophic at worst - especially when the road is wet.
