Marlborough District Council is joining ACC to encourage drivers and riders to look out for each other on the road.
Last year 46 motorcyclists were killed and 7,372 motorcyclists received treatment and support from ACC. The cost of motorcycle-related claims was more than $94 million, but the real cost is to the rider, their families and their friends.
29 motorcyclists have already been killed on the roads this year.
