Crash Investigation
During a Crash Investigation lesson, we bring one of our “crash cars” to your venue and take the students out to look over the vehicle and investigate what they feel may have led to the collision.
The car is indicative of the most common type of collision encountered on the road, a low-speed front end collision. The interior and exterior of the vehicle can be found items common to young people's cars, signs of how they may have been behaving and the sort of individuals that may have been in the car. Outside students can observe common vehicle faults that lead to reduced safety, MOT failures and potential Police action.

Streetwise
In a 40-minute classroom-based, informal and informative session, our instructors get the students involved in discovering the route to staying safe and legal.
These classroom sessions can be supported with our motorcycle trailer, providing a more practical element with respect to common faults and issues including areas of maintenance. Twenty minutes that help young riders stay safe and within the law!
What we cover
During the course young riders, or prospective riders, are taken through a range of topics relevant to them. We look at the law around motorcycle use, PPE, basic essential motorcycle maintenance, riding tips and how to be seen by other road users.
