New Rider
New motorcyclists are the most vulnerable of all road users and highly likely to be involved in an accident. New riders make up only 0.15% of all road users yet tragically make up 5.7% of road deaths
Although training organisation offer a good service, that service is built purely around students passing a 20 minute test in an off-road motorcycle manoeuvring area followed by 35 minutes of riding on the road being followed by a DVSA examiner. New riders then struggle to cope with changing traffic and road conditions and regularly lose control when travelling at excessive or misjudging speed, they can struggle with handling their bike safely, knowing when and when not to brake or panicking when finding themselves in a situation or location that they are unfamiliar with.
Many younger or newly qualified inexperienced riders struggle to judge the speed and distance of the other traffic when overtaking safely or travelling on uneven, poorly maintained, slippery or wet road surfaces, potholes or fuel spillages.

Acquiring your motorcycle licence is your first step but undertaking further training is the most important decision you will ever make and could literally be the difference between life and death.
