Defensive Riding Motorcycle

Duration: 1 Day
Time: 9:00am to 5:00pm

Introduction

Riding a motorcycle safely requires the correct attitude and set of skills. It requires riders to concentrate fully and be aware of safety. Lack of awareness, failure to practice safe riding practices, and deadly fatigue are some of the factors that can lead to horrifying accidents.

Through this premise of defensive riding, bikers will understand the importance of hazard perception, which helps them react quickly to avoid dangerous situations. Defensive riding (Safe Riding) goes beyond mastery of the rules of the road and basic riding mechanics. This course enables an untrained rider to become a trained safe biker who can maneuver out and avoid dangerous road situations or the poor conduct of other road users. This is achieved through adherence to general rules and practice of specific riding techniques.
