A specialist law firm is extending its car sticker campaign – ‘I ride too!’ – after having already sent out over 3,000 stickers to motorcyclists and cyclists to display in the rear window of their four-wheeled vehicles.

The campaign by Road Traffic Accident Law (Scotland) LLP (RTALS) started as a way for motorcyclists driving their cars to be able to tell other bikers that the person in the vehicle in front is a biker too.

The scheme has now extended to stickers for cyclists to put into their cars, so that cyclists, when driving their cars, can show their fellow cyclists some much-needed love on Scotland’s roads.

Roz Boynton, associate solicitor at the firm, who came up with the concept, said: “We are thrilled with the response to our car stickers and it is really encouraging to see so many car drivers wanting to get involved.

“A biker, who is also a car driver, will regularly look in their mirrors to see who is travelling behind them, give room for motorcyclists to legally filter in slow moving traffic and will be especially vigilant at roundabouts and junctions for those on two wheels.

“The sticker is a simple way for bikers driving their cars to be able to tell other bikers that the person in the vehicle in front is looking out for them.”

RTALS is asking those requesting the stickers to make a financial donation to Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA), the charity the firm regularly supports.

David Craig, CEO of SCAA, said: “Motorcyclists and cyclists recognise the valuable role SCAA plays in time-critical, pre-hospital emergency care and both communities have provided vital support to our service over the years.

“The ‘I ride too!’ campaign is an innovative way to show respect between road users and we value RTALS’s generous gesture in suggesting donations for the vehicle decal stickers be made to SCAA.”

Stickers are available from motorcycle dealers, bicycle retailers or by contacting either Motorcycle Law Scotland (motorcycle sticker) or Cycle Law Scotland (cycle sticker) via their websites or social media channels.
