Motorbike safety events to be held at Cambridgeshire police HQ

The sessions begin in April and will run out of Cambridgeshire Constabulary’s headquarters in Huntingdon.

Courses should be booked through the national website: www.bikesafe.co.uk.

The events run in two parts with a classroom session on the first day. Riders will then be allocated a slot to attend an assessment ride with a qualified police motorcyclist.

Sergeant Pete Scholes from the BCH Road Policing Unit said: “Motorcyclists will gain increased skills and awareness which can have a really positive impact on reducing the number of bikers being hurt on our roads.

“During the sessions we look at attitude to risk, bend assessment, overtaking and hazard management. We have had some really good feedback from people who have attended in previous years and I would encourage anyone who has not attended one before to come along.”
