Sergeant Tim Gleeson reminded road users to be vigilant during the holiday season, and credited the rider for wearing full protective motorcycle gear.
“We’re concerned with the lead-up to Christmas,” he said.
“The roads are busier and people seem to be easily distracted, which can lead to devastating consequences.
“In this case, it turned out alright. A lot of that is because he had the full safety gear on with the gloves and helmet.”
