Cautious restart to observing

IAM RoadSmart is pleased to announce that motorcycle observed rides can resume from Monday 15 June, in England.

This decision has been taken in line with the recent government announcement that non-essential shops can re-open from this date in England and our view that this opens the way for non-essential trips. Groups in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland should continue to follow the rules as they apply in their nation.

Observed rides will be offered first to those associates who have already started their coaching or purchased a course and been allocated to a group.

IAM RoadSmart group rides can also resume from Monday 1 June, in England where six people will be allowed to meet outdoors, as long as social distancing is still observed.

Advanced Motorcycle tests will resume from Monday 6 July,in England
                                     
Richard Gladman said: “We are delighted to be able to start providing on-road coaching once more, but personal safety still has to be our number one priority. We are grateful to all our motorcycle groups, Observers and Examiners for their continued patience.

“As we start to resume on-road activity, I urge everyone to remember they are an ambassador for motorcycling, IAM RoadSmart and our commitment to improving road safety.”
