Free scooter and motorcycle lessons in Gloucester
Scooter coaching aims to curb accidents in South Gloucester
A weekend of free coaching is being offered to motorcycle and scooter riders in Gloucester to help cut down on the number of people killed or seriously injured on the roads.
The coaching, which takes place at the end of the month, has been organised by South Gloucestershire Council's road safety team with the aim of improving riding standards and survival skills.
Scooter riders can take advantage of a two-day course on the weekend of February 24th and 25th.
The course features braking and manoeuvring exercises as well as theory and on the second day the students arrive for an individually assessed ride.
For motorcyclists the course lasts for one day with an illustrated theory discussion covering observation, hazard perception, anticipation, positioning and ride planning.
This is followed by a three-hour group ride with an instructor where each student will take a turn to lead before receiving a constructive debriefing on their riding.
Both instructors are retired Class 1 advanced police motorcyclists and one was an advanced police instructor so they have a wealth of experience to offer.
