Devon & Cornwall Police
You are here: BikeSafe / Devon & Cornwall
Devon and Cornwall Police are fully committed to promoting and delivering BikeSafe and recommend it as an insight into what can be achieved from post-test motorcycle training. It is our intention to actively encourage the use of motorcycles on the roads of Devon and Cornwall throughout the year and not just within a ‘motorcycle season’.
We run our Devon and Cornwall BikeSafe sessions into the winter months and believe that by riding all year round, rather than on sunny Sunday afternoons, skills are maintained and enhanced, thereby making the rider safer. As Police motorcyclists we know that it is our training that keeps us safe. We recommend all motorcyclists to invest in themselves and their own safety by taking further training. BikeSafe is the first step towards safer, more fulfilling and, hopefully, lifelong riding.
Workshop information
Devon and Cornwall BikeSafe workshops are limited to 14 riders per session, and our workshops are open to all riders of machines from 125cc & up with a full/restricted power motorcycle licence.
The format of the workshop is an interactive classroom session delivered by one of our advanced police motorcyclists.
The day will begin at 0900 where you would be greeted by a member of the team, the day concludes at 1630 with a one hour break for lunch. The classroom session starts at 0930 following a welcoming cup of tea or coffee. The morning presentation is interactive and you are actively encouraged to participate and share your own experiences and concerns, we will discuss advanced riding skills and techniques based on the Roadcraft manual.
The day is a relaxed friendly day of interaction and learning followed by a lunch break before the afternoon observed rides.
Rider requirements
On the day, please bring your UK driving licence (if photo licence then both parts), valid MOT certificate (if required) and insurance certificate. Please wear appropriate motorcycle clothing, including glasses/spectacles/contact lenses if you need them for riding. Riders’ machines must be in a roadworthy condition (check your tyres and number plates!). No refund will be given should the rider’s machine be deemed un-roadworthy.
