The launch of a world first trial for motorcyclists was launched in June in Victoria, Australia.
The VicRide: on-road coaching program provides on-road coaching for newly licensed riders. The George Institute will be independently evaluating this program, to determine the true benefits of on-road coaching for novice riders.
Motorcyclists represent 17% of road fatalities in Australia, and according to researchers at The George Institute, there is a need for high quality research to provide key evidence to ensure riders are as safe as possible.
