*NEW* Understanding and Tackling Motorcycle Casualties
Course fee: £199 + VAT
There has been little progress in moving towards the 2010 road safety targets in this user group compared with other groups.
This one day course covers the issues of two wheeled motorcycle collisions from understanding how a bike handles, how the users ride them, the mindset of the types of bikers, how the collisions occur and what we can do to address these problems. The course gives real world solutions to address two wheeled motor vehicles collisions resulting from how they are actually ridden, not based on how a rider ‘should’ ride.
