IAM RoadSmart in partnership with Transport Scotland and Police Scotland have devised a pilot programme to give riders the opportunity to refresh and enhance their riding skills using their own motorcycle. Guided by IAM RoadSmart-qualified instructors at the iconic Knockhill Circuit. During the day riders will also be provided with a circuit based session and workshops including
- A practical session focussing on machine handling, building confidence when manoeuvring your motorcycle at slow speeds.
- A session covering immediate roadside lifesaving first aid, taught by a medical professional, so you know what to do if you come across a collision.
- A practical session on motorcycle care, including checks on key areas such as electrics, oil, tyres, suspension, and chains.
- A session explaining how motorcycle brakes work and then learning how to use them effectively.
The day is not a ‘Track Day’ but instead uses the safer environment of a circuit without road furniture and other traffic to allow you to support safe road users in line with ‘Road Craft’ the Police Riders handbook.
