Streettalk - defensive riding course to reduce your restricted period

Street Talk is a course that provides riders with an opportunity to learn new safety skills.

It aims to help you:

• Better understand and cope with risks when you're riding
• Be aware of your performance as a rider
• Improve your riding (if necessary).

This training course is designed to raise awareness of the factors that affect your ability to operate your car or motorcycle safety and addresses key elements such as:

• Identifying Risk
• Behavioural Influences
• Human Risk Factors
• External Risk Factors
• Managing Change
• Strategies for setting goals and monitoring risk factors
• Hazard awareness
• Observation techniques
• Safety zoning
• Gap Selection
• Hazard Response

The course is divided into five sections. Sections 1 - 4 are Theory and group sessions that are run in a classroom environment.
Typically these will be divided into two sessions per week (approx 2 hours each) to enable the course to be completed within a fortnight.

Session 5 is a practical session which will be conducted with a qualified motorcycle instructor (approx 1 hour). The practical session is designed to give you feedback on your readiness for the full licence test.

Successful completion of the streettalk course is recognised as a qualifying scheme to reduce your restricted licence period.

To qualify for the scheme, you must hold a current class 6 restricted motorcycle licence. Under the age of 25, you must have held your restricted motorcycle licence for at least 6 months.

You must have your own motorcycle with a current WOF and registration to complete the practical session.

Please note: Riderskills will only accept applications from motorcycle riders as the practical session will be conducted on a motorcycle.

The streettalk course requires a minimum number of students to facilitate the group training elements. If student numbers are insufficient Riderskills reserve the right to cancel or reschedule the course. At least 4 days notice will be given if the case arises.
