Nick Brisland Trust Update

NICK BRISLAND TRUST RIDE OUT Priding themselves to promote safer roads, the Nick Brisland Trust offers an update.

Here at Nick Brisland Trust, we are constantly thinking of ways to help keep people safe and what needs to change in order to do so.

In February 2018, we campaigned to change the theory test adding more about motorcyclists and vulnerable road users. Over 130,000 people signed our safer roads petition and helped us make headline news. Just recently the DVSA agreed to change the test.

Alongside this, we raise money for defibrillators. In just a year and a half we have managed to install these lifesaving machines, placing them across the UK in moto cafes and accident black spots. My son, Nick, lost his life whilst riding with his friend Adam to a popular bike meet in Southampton. Nick was only 19 years old when he was killed. In memory of him and everyone else who have lost their life to the road, we hold an annual rideout. These have become very popular and this year’s rideout is due to take place on the 19th of April 2020. We meet at McDonalds in Hedge End, Southampton, and leave at 12-midday. From there we head out to Portsdown Hill, Portsmouth, and then onto Loomies Moto Café in West Meon where we hold a fabulous raffle for Track Days, BSB tickets and more.

All bikes are welcome. This is a

Recover your true losses

If your injuries from a motorcycle accident are long term, they could affect your ability to work 100% and also your future career aspirations. Even a small reduction in your annual earnings, when calculated forward to your anticipated retirement age, could result in a signifi cant sum for lost earnings and pension. Anticipated higher earnings from experience and promotions can also be taken into account.
