Motorcycle Assessments

Lancashire County Council's Road Safety Group has over 30 years experience of delivering training and advice to all levels of riders from the absolute novice on a moped or motorcycle through to the more experienced rider on larger capacity machines.

A free motorcycle assessment is offered to motorcyclists who wish to take advantage of a professional riding instructor's assessment of their riding skills, road awareness and hazard perception.

Target market
The Road Safety Group currently provides free assessment rides for all types of riders who either live in or travel through Lancashire.

Aim of Rider Assessment
To provide a platform of assessment in order to conduct a gap analysis on riders’ abilities and recommend where necessary training measures to close those gaps.

How it’s done…
Assess the rider on-road over a period of not less than 1 hour • Use the assessment to highlight the rider’s weak areas and needs If necessary, to recommend a suitable training course to help address those needs

Funding
This project is funded by Local Area Agreement and is available to all motorcyclists in Lancashire (resident or riding through). Mike Williams is an LCC approved assessor. The assessment consists of a ride out, usually for a period of 1-2 hours. At the end you’ll be given an assessment report, and Mike will discuss any next steps you wish to take.

The assessment is free.
