RoSPA backs increased motorcycle training courses
A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: “The rider’s skills, training, experience and attitudes are fundamental to safe motorcycling.
“One of the key approaches to improving motorcyclist safety is to ensure riders receive appropriate training when they start (or restart) to use a motorcycle.
“And that they receive further training as they progress in their riding careers, especially as they progress from smaller to larger motorcycles.
“Motorcyclists should be encouraged and helped to continue to develop their riding skills and abilities.”
