Coastal Releases New Training Program

Virginia Beach, VA (USA), January 2010 - Coastal Training Technologies is covering new terrain with Motorcycle Safety Awareness, a timely training program that describes various ways to keep riders secure and helps prevent injuries and fatalities.




According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 100,000 motorcycle riders are injured and over 5,000 are killed in motorcycle crashes each year. Of the thousands of bikers who are killed each year, thirty percent are victims of their own neglect of the basic rules.

The program surveys major safety issues, from risk awareness and the right attitude to practical dos and don'ts, including hand-feet coordination, selecting PPE, defensive riding, manoeuvring, and emergency planning. Motorcycle Safety Awareness will help show riders how to conduct pre-trip inspections, ride in different weather and road conditions, and observe basic road rules.

It devotes a particular section on the S.E.E. method and cites the traits of a defensive rider. The program is now available in DVD format and will also be released as an eLearning course. English and Spanish versions are available.
