'Ramsey Rocket' joins Steam Packet in environmental plea

Video asks drivers to 'take a breath' before starting their engines

A plea for drivers to 'take a breath' and wait to start their engines coming off the ferry for this year's Festival of Motorcycling.

The 'Ramsey Rocket' Conor Cummins has featured on a video released by the Steam Packet, asking people to think about the environment.

In a social media post the company says it sees an increase in traffic over the festival fortnight.

And it asks 'politely' for motorists to wait until instructed to turn on their engines.
