Police are urging bikers to take it easy on the roads - after dramatic dashcam footage showed a rider narrowly avoiding a head-on crash.
The video was shot on the Mountain Road on Saturday evening, and shows a motorcyclist on the wrong side of the road swerving to avoid a car.

Officers also say they stopped a drink-driver who was almost three times the limit at the weekend.
Inspector Gavin Callow says those who drink before getting behind the wheel can expect tough sentences from the courts:
