Even advanced riders can benefit from motorcycle safety courses

On Behalf of | Nov 8, 2017 | Car Accidents |

Riding a motorcycle comes with a unique set of dangers. This is why safety should be your number one priority every time you climb onto your bike, and staying goes beyond wearing a helmet and riding leathers or staying within the bounds of the speed limit.

You might think that motorcycle safety courses are for new riders. You took one ages ago when you first got your license, so why would you take another one? But safety courses can be just as beneficial to experienced riders as they are for new riders. Read further to find out more about whether you should sign up for an advanced motorcycle safety course.

Improve your skills

Whether you have been riding for two years or 20, an advanced safety course can improve your skills. You will be able to practice advanced maneuvers in a safe environment and increase your overall safety and confidence.

Reduced insurance premiums

One of the key benefits of taking an advanced safety course is that you might be able to save money on your insurance. Insurance companies do not offer discounts to individuals that drive cars and take defensive driving courses, but many offer discounts for motorcycle riders who complete riding safety programs. If you are looking for a way to reduce your monthly expenses, this might be a good option.

Product discounts

In addition to saving money on your insurance, you might qualify for manufacturer discounts. Many motorcycle manufacturers offer discounts on bikes and bike accessories to people enrolled in a safety course program. If you have a particular brand that you prefer, check for any special offers that are available if you take an approved class.

While taking an advanced motorcycle safety course can hone your skills and possibly even save you money, you may still find yourself the victim of an accident. Sometimes, no matter how safely you ride, it is impossible to avoid a collision with a negligent driver. If you have been the victim of a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to significantly more compensation than the insurance company initially offers. An experienced personal injury lawyer can assess your case and help you get the full and fair compensation you deserve.
