Road safety training

There is a range of training courses currently available, which include
 
  • pedestrian training
  • cycle training
  • motorcycle training delivered in partnership with Cambridgeshire Constabulary

 

 Pedestrian Training
 is offered to reception children and an adult partner in participating schools. The training involves a short walk around the local school environment to introduce the key road safety message 'Stop, Look and Listen' to help children stay safe on their journey to school.
 

Cycle Training

Cycling is a fun, convenient and healthy way to get around - but if you don't follow basic safety guidelines the results can be very serious. The Safer Cycling Scheme is available free of charge for primary pupils aged 10 and over in schools with a trained instructor. If you would like to find out more information about becoming a cycle instructor, please contact the Road Safety Team on 01733 453417. Full training is given and a small fee is paid for each course delivered.
Motorcycle Training
It is a sad fact that the number of motorcycle casualties on our roads has increased significantly in recent years. The Road Safety Team runs an enhanced riding skills course in partnership with Cambridgeshire Constabulary. The course supports the BikeSafe initiative and is delivered by advanced police motorcyclists. Topics covered include:
 
  • what makes a good rider
  • the system of motorcycle control
  • cornering
  • positioning
  • overtaking
  • group riding
At the end of the course there is an opportunity to undertake an assessed ride under the guidance of a police motorcyclist. For further information please contact the Road Safety Team on (01733) 453417
