Five Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes

At 1st Class Rider Training we believe that if you know what the most common causes of crashes are then you can go someway to avoiding being involved in them.

So here is a simple list of the five most common causes of Motorcycle Crashes.

1 Failing to negotiate a Left Hand Bend on a Country Road.

2 Failing to negotiate a Right Hand Bend on a Country Road.

3 Failing to observe correctly the presence or movement of other traffic at Junctions.

4 Overtaking.

5 Loss of Control.

Throughout our training we use our knowledge and expertise to pass to you, our students the best ways to get the most from your bike without it getting the better of you.  We can teach you how to read a bend, how to match your speed to the limit point, correct overtaking technique and much more.  Remember, when you think you have nothing left to learn, it’s time to hand your bike keys over!

Motorcycle Training Cardiff

For Motorcycle Training in Cardiff 1st Class Rider Training is the perfect choice.  Run by Andy Smith, a former Police Motorcyclist.  We only use Police Class 1 Riders as our Instructors to ensure the highest lever of Motorcycle Training in Cardiff.

Established in 2003 by Andy after he worked initially  for Cardiff Motorcycle School and later United Motorcycle Training, before exclusively teaming up with the local BMW dealership to provide 1st Class Training on Top Class BMW machines. And so it was that 1st Class Rider Training-Cardiff was formed.

1st Class Rider Training is based at the Cardiff County Council Road Safety Centre, at North Road, centrally sited to be in easy reach of all parts of Cardiff and South Wales.  This means that we can carry out CBT in Cardiff on a unique secure site made up of a mini road system with authentic road layouts, traffic signs, traffic lights, a roundabout and box junction.

Our Instructor base has recently been expanded so now you can recieve 1st Class Training right from your CBT through the Direct Access Scheme and up to an Advanced level taking an Advanced Motorcycle Test under the RoSPA scheme.
