council subsidises training course

MotoScotland, Britain’s first and only off road motorcycle training centre to have its training recognised by major insurers as “Advanced Rider Training” for road riding, has achieved another milestone in its mission to improve rider road safety.

Road safety officers from both Argyll & Bute and Ayrshire Councils road safety departments attended MotoScotland’s Level 1 training course – a course designed for licensed motorcycle riders who have either no or rusty off road skills – and confirmed the values and benefits (identified by the insurers) that this unique advanced rider training brings. 

For the first time in the UK, Argyll & Bute Council have now extended a road safety fund (that is currently used to part fund advanced rider training like The Institute of Advanced Motoring’s Skills For Life, etc.) to include MotoScotland’s specialised training. 

This effectively means that Argyll & Bute residents (with a CBT motorcycle licence or higher), can now reclaim £49 towards MotoScotland’s Level 2 training course. This course also allows riders to gain 10% discount from certain insurers on their road bike policy.
