The majority of motorcycle crasheswhich are not caused by the actions of van, car, lorry or bus drivers are caused in some part by rider error. In such cases, there will be some level of liability, whether complete or partial, ascribable to the rider and any consequent motorbike accident claim will reflect this – but how do we prevent such incidents from occurring in the first place?
Mentors for the motorcycling odyssey
The word mentor means a trusted guide or counsellor and is taken from the Greek. Indeed, any person familiar with the story of the Odyssey will know that Mentor was the name of the person who was entrusted with the education and development of Odysseus's son Telemachus.
In motorcycling, having a mentor can be a real way of ensuring that new and novice riders are able to receive wisdom, advice, guidance and support from experienced riders.
Statistics show us that far too many motorcycle accident claims are made for incidents in which new and inexperienced riders have ridden in ways that are unsafe. Giving these riders a mentor can be invaluable in empowering them with confidence and knowledge to help them ride safely and proficiently.
Unfortunately, there are very few official motorcycling mentor schemes in place in the UK, but there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that where there is a strong history of riding in a new rider's family, the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next can help ensure that new riders are given the best possible start to two-wheeled powered transport.
As one rider explains, "I always wanted to ride from when I was just a young kid and I used to see my dad coming home from work in the evenings in his leathers. Having my dad to show me the ropes, so to speak, has been an invaluable resource.
"I've seen mates make mistakes and be involved in accidents, one even suffered a nasty head injury, but, touch wood, the worst I've suffered is whiplash when I was rear-ended by a 4WD in a car park. I feel that dad's advice and support gave me a real head start and I'm really grateful for it."
