Presentation: Pre-CBT training in Lewisham
Working in partnership with a local motorcycle training provider, Lewisham’s road safety team has developed a pre-CBT programme which is offered to people that live, work or study in Lewisham.
The programme is designed to improve safety awareness among Lewisham’s P2W riders, and enhance the working relationship between the road safety team and the borough’s CBT provider. To date, 175 riders have completed the course and the feedback has been very positive.
Liz will use her presentation to outline the programme and explain how it might be replicated by other road safety teams seeking to effectively engage with P2W riders in their area.
