Series of motorcycle safety sessions launched.

Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service has announced a series of sessions to promote the safe use of motorcycles.

As part of the new Cumbria Ride Safe programme, the service is partnering with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA)(north Cumbria & SW Scotland), Cumbria Police, IAM RoadSmart and BEEP Doctors Cumbria.

The sessions will cover advanced riding techniques, first aid, and scene safety at a collision site.

A RoSPA / IAM delegate will then take each of the participants out on a ride to observe their capability and suggest improvements for safer riding.
