Whether you ride a superbike, classic, or tourer; if you
live or ride in Buckinghamshire you can take part in a 2017 Be a Better Biker assessment day. Delivered by Thames Vale Advanced
Motorcyclists (TVAM) and supported by Transport for Buckinghamshire (TfB) and
Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue, the assessments include workshops and an
on-road assessment with a TVAM observer. There are currently two assessment day
courses scheduled at Marlow Fire Station, on June 17th and July 22nd.
The assessment days are part of an ongoing effort to improve
biker safety in Buckinghamshire – in the last three years, 154 bikers have been
killed or seriously injured on Buckinghamshire’s roads. Since launching in
2004, the Be a Better Biker initiative
has offered hundreds of local bikers advanced training on skills such as manoeuvring,
overtaking and cornering techniques.
There are only 12 places available on each assessment day,
so to avoid disappointment contact TfB today by calling 01296 382338 or emailing
roadsafety@buckscc.gov.uk. Assessments
cost £20 per person.
