Afternoon Chaps,
Any of you have any experience or knowledge of these workshops? Or recommend others?
BikeSafe gives motorcyclists a crucial 'skills check-up' via police-led skills/safety workshops. Bridging the gap to a more skillful ride.

I did this a few years back after getting caught speeding & generally riding like a twat by an unmarked police car, my solicitor told me it might help sway the Magistrates if I showed that I was seeking help with my riding.
I had done RAC/ACU training when I was a teenager, then went onto do the instructors course, Bikesafe is very similar in that it is taught by Police Motorcyclists using the roadcraft manual.
The Bikesafe course will be 1 instructor, 2 pupils, the boring bit (if you have done it before) is half the day is spent in the classroom working on theory, then after lunch you get an observed road ride putting it all in practice.
The course teaches you about observation, road positioning & general good practice in how to stay alive on a motorcycle, I would recommend it, I got assessed an 'A' as a rider confident & safe on the road, we showed this to the Magistrates when I went to court & I didn't get a ban, however this was more down to the CPS inability to provide video evidence when requested by my brief, so the video was not allowed to be used
