How to avoid a motorbike accident with an advanced training course

One of the best ways to avoid a motorbike accident and the subsequent personal injury that can occur as a result, is to get the best training possible. By taking an Advanced Motorcycling course you can minimise your risk of being involved in a road traffic accident and maximise your chances of safe and enjoyable riding.

Institute of Advanced Motorists - Advanced Motorcycling
The IAM describe advanced motorcycling as the ability to control the speed and position of the motorbike safely, systematically and smoothly, using road and traffic conditions to make reasonable progress unobtrusively, with skill and responsibility.

They suggest that the skill requires the rider to have a positive, courteous attitude, and a high level of riding competence grounded in concentration, effective all round observation, anticipation and forward thinking.

There is also a need for good machine handling skills so that the motorbike will always be at the right place on the road at the right time, travelling at an appropriate speed with the correct gear engaged, and that the machine is able to be stopped safely in the distance ahead of the rider that is clear of other vehicles.

Courses for bikers to avoid motorcycle crashes
The IAM offers course packages for individual bikers and fleet managers to help all riders, both those who ride occupationally and those who ride for pleasure, acquire the skills required to make their riding as risk free as possible.

Many other agencies will offer courses on advanced and defensive riding. A quick internet search or event a hunt through the Yellow Pages should quickly provide you with a list of local rider training schools or you could contact your local police force to ask for their recommended training schemes.
