We are holding a motorcycling open day at Lockerbie police station on Saturday 20 September. The day will run from 10am to 4pm and while it is aimed primarily at motorcyclists, all road users are invited. Officers will be available to educate everyone about road safety and the remind people that motorcyclists are more at risk of being killed or seriously injured in a road collision than any other type of road user. Experts will be on hand to give advice and explain how riders can stay safe on our roads. Observers and examiners from the Institute of Advanced Motorists (I.A.M.) will be present alongside trained police motorcyclists and collision investigation officers. A number of displays will be available providing information and assistance in all aspects of road safety. As part of the day, I.A.M Motorcycle Observers are offering a free half hour road assessed ride on your own bike. It is not a test, just a relaxed session with an observer and will help remind you of good riding procedure, identify any bad habits and give you a reassured feeling of confidence on increasingly busy roads. Places are restricted and will be offered on a first come first served basis. Anyone wanting this assessed ride should contact Constable John Irving, Lockerbie Trunk Road Policing Group on the police non emergency telephone number 101.
