In Lorraine, workshops to find the right motorcycle reflexes

Motorcycles are still significantly more accident-prone than other modes of transport. Young drivers are particularly affected. According to figures from the interministerial road safety observatory, 479 motorcyclists lost their lives in a road accident in 2020. The majority of motorcyclists killed are outside urban areas. Resuming the bike after these long winter months without practicing is therefore not without risk. Spring is a critical time for motorcyclists.

85 branches of the French Federation of Angry Bikers organize recovery days throughout the country to raise awareness among bikers before getting back on the handlebars for long journeys.

Everywhere in France, the antennas organize recovery days to sensitize the motorcyclist so that he does not have the bad idea to take his motorbike and leave in the Vosges for 300 km.

To reduce the risks on the road, a reminder of the basic principles is necessary. On the program: work on braking and flexibility and speed control.

The fundamentals are control at low speed, it’s our little joker at the end of the exercise.

Motorcyclists of all displacements evolve in groups of five on the routes developed by the trainer. These routes are similar to those proposed for the bridge between the A2 license and the A license as part of the 2017 reform. This reform of the motorcycle license was implemented with the aim of reducing road fatalities for cyclists. For three years, young bikers who obtain the A2 license have been limited in power for two years, before being able to claim to drive a “full” motorcycle thanks to the A license, issued after seven hours of additional training.

This big day organized by Meurthe-et-Moselle Road Safety will take place in Liverdun with the help of the authorities and the police. A hundred people are expected according to the head of the transport and travel safety unit of Road Safety 54, especially since this day has not taken place for the past two years because of the Covid-19.
