8‐Hour Refresher Course
The Canada Safety Council’s Refresher Program is an 8‐hour course (6 on bike and 2 in classroom), designed to give experienced motorcyclists the opportunity to brush up on their riding and defensive driving skills. The student must hold a current M or M2 license and may use their own bike if currently licensed and insured (or a bike can be provided for an additional $50). Students should arrive with a helmet, gloves, a heavy jacket and boots (no running shoes). A certificate of competence suitable for insurance requirements will be issued upon successful completion of the course.
During the course we will re‐introduce you to:
• Lane positioning, intersections
• Trip planning
• Highway riding, riding with passengers
• Group riding
• Packing a motorcycle (GVWR)
• Defensive riding theory
• Theft deterrence
• Accident cause factors
• Helmets, hearing protection and protective clothing, conspicuity
• Proper use of eyes
• Emergency braking, swerving
• Defensive driving, slow speed control
• Cornering, stopping in a curve
Dates: 2 consecutive evenings, 6-10 p.m. April 25-26, 2012
Location: All courses are held in the Pioneer Building at Loyalist College, Wallbridge-Loyalist Road, Belleville.
Clothing: A DOT approved helmet is required. Bring a heavy jacket (leather or ballisting nylon is best), gloves, heavy pants (jeans are best) and leather boots covering your ankle (no sandals or running shoes). Choose your clothing sensibly. Remember, it will protect you in case of a spill. This training will take place rain or shine, so rainwear is a good idea to have - just in case.
