The Directors of Charlton Ross and
a number of our associates are keen motorcyclists.
Motorcyclists represent a disproportionate number of
serious injuries and fatalities on the UK's roads and we are therefore enthusistic supporters of schemes and initiatives
which can help reduce casualties on the roads through rider awareness.
WHAT IS BIKESAFE?
‘BikeSafe’ is a Police led motorcyclist casualty reduction scheme engaging with post-test
riders to consider why motorcycle crashes are happening, including
attitudinal implications. Five strong trends
have emerged throughout the country.
Filtering, junctions, cornering, overtaking and group riding are
problem areas. Really obvious things seem to be placing everyday riders in life threatening scenarios. In the classroom,
‘BikeSafe’ offers potential solutions to the most
common crash causes using an award winning DVD curriculum and,
as a result of its short on-road riding
element, results in an individual rider development
report which can be taken to a post-test training provider. ‘BikeSafe’ is
all about ‘Bridging the Gap’ into accredited training.
