Why Advanced Training?

What is Advanced Riding?
Every day we choose to ride our bikes without giving any additional thought to the fact that it may be one of the most dangerous things that we will do in that day.

It is a shocking fact that traffic crashes account for almost half of accidental deaths and are the largest single cause of death and injury to young adults.

Defensive Riding is the art of avoiding preventable accidents. It is a deliberate, skilful and responsible riding technique admired by others. As a defensive rider, you are able to anticipate and control situations to reduce your accident risk.

An Advanced rider is equipped with the knowledge and skill to ride safely and effectively in all conditions.


When riding, do you ever find yourself: -

  • Having to brake sharply?
  • Creeping above the speed limit?
  • Riding too close to the vehicle ahead?
  • Feeling anxious, tense or intimidated?
  • Regretting what you’ve just done? (e.g. accelerated through an amber light)

    If so, maybe you too could benefit from advanced training

Protect yourself and your loved ones by taking the advanced test.
