Road Safety
Dragon Rider
Dragon Rider Cymru is a motorcycle training course supported by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Enhanced Rider Scheme and Thunder Road Motorcycles of South Wales.
The Road Safety Teams from the Counties of Carmarthenshire, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Pembrokeshire, have worked in partnership to develop this course of advanced rider skills that is delivered by experienced and qualified motorcycle instructors who are accredited by the DVSA Register of Post Test Motorcycle Instructors. Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue service are also supporting the initiative.
The courses are held on a Monday evening and delivered via Microsoft Teams. The practical element will be arranged once you have attended the evening session and will be road based, using a variety of roads throughout the County and neighbouring counties to meet the motorcycle training needs of the individual rider, based on the advanced Police rider manual, Roadcraft.
Riders who have completed the Bikesafe course are encouraged to bring copies of their assessment forms for the practical session. The training ratio will be one instructor to a maximum of two riders for the on road element. Training will be tailored to meet the individual needs of the rider.
At the conclusion of both sessions participants will be issued with a certificate of competence that is recognised by a wide variety of insurance companies and may attract a premium discount.
How much does the course cost?
Thanks to Road Safety Grant funding from Welsh Government the course is free of charge to residents of Pembrokeshire.
