Scotland's road safety agency has launched a new campaign ahead of the summer riding season, urging riders heading for popular routes like the NC500 to prepare thoroughly and stay focused.
A scenic route like the NC500 is the very definition of an aspiration for riders. But the more beautiful the road, the easier it is to get careless. Pre-departure checks, regular breaks, reading the weather. A campaign that calls for these basics is genuinely appreciated from someone who loves to travel.

What kind of route is the NC500 anyway?
It's a loop route around the north of Scotland, scenery's supposed to be amazing but the roads have quite a bit of character.
If they put out this warning every year around this time, must mean tourist rider accidents just never let up.
The NC500 is a route I'd like to ride once, but I'd want to know the weather and road conditions before tackling it.
Heard the NC500 has a lot of accidents from people getting distracted by the scenery, so this kind of warning is important.
Honestly not sure a campaign alone actually brings the accident rate down.
