Motorcycle safety classes make a difference in Norfolk, Virginia Beach
Posted on Mar 31, 2010
The Naval Safety Center in Norfolk, VA wants to remind all motorcycle riders that motorcycle safety classes don’t just save lives and prevent unnecessary injuries from accidents, they also save money.
The Navy and Marines started pushing motorcycle safety classes because in 2008 33 sailors and 25 marines were killed while riding motorcycles. Shocked by the large number of fatalities, the Naval Safety Center partnered with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) to create a special training course for military sport bike users.
The new course, Military Sportbike Rider Course (MSRC), is considered a success, because the following year fatality numbers were cut just about in half (13 sailors and 14 marines died on motorcycles).
To further push the importance of training, insurance companies are offering discounts to motorcycle riders who complete a motorcycle training course. This is part of an effort to assist the Navy and Marine Corps in reducing the number of motorcycle crashes that kill or harm enlisted men and women and officers.
According to the Naval Safety Center’s motorcycle manager, some insurance companies are willing to give people who take a basic motorcycle safety class a ten percent discount on their insurance premium. This is because riders who are versed in the fundamentals of motorcycle safety are less likely to become involved in a serious wreck.
