The number of people killed in motorcycle collisions across Hampshire and
the Isle of Wight has fallen to the lowest level in six years.

A total of 10 motorcyclists died on roads across the two counties in 2004,
compared to 33 in 2003, and 22 in 2002.

Hampshire police targeted motorcyclists last year after the 50 per cent
increase in deaths in 2003.

A police spokesman said: "Focussing on known motorcycle casualty routes
across the two counties, high visibility patrols were put in place at weekends
along priority routes including the A339, A272 and the A32 in an attempt to
encourage people to take more care."
