Stu Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I have been planning on doing a bike safe course/day for a long time and for £25 thought it would be worth it and is not a bad price Just been looking to book one for this year and the price has shot up to £65 Surely that cant be inflation or are they going to blame covid for this too Maybe I should look at IAM or ROSPA instead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My course was cancelled due to C19 and I have been given a voucher valid for 2 years. I'm on the waiting list for when they start taking bookings again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes it worse then! they have put it up pre covid so can't even blame that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked with Greater Manchester with the course being held only 1 mile from me however, now their bookings are full. I thought I could use my voucher with Lancashire who have availability and are roughly 10 mile away, but oh no cant do that but could use my voucher with South Yorkshire 65-70 miles away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried to book it online? my area has a waiting list but you can book online and it shows you how many spaces are left EDIT: just checked and yes its a waiting list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Northumberland got rid of all its motorbikes, Durham just uses Cleveland, so 3 areas covered by 1 force it's no wonder there is a waiting list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I get the odd email offering dates, but as soon as you open it all the dates are already booked out. Plus not sure I'd want to do it on L's Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus not sure I'd want to do it on L's Fish I know Avon and Somerset have always insisted on a full licence. Which I've always thought as a shame/missed opportunity, as surely it's people who may have only done a CBT who would greatly benefit? If they were worried about the differences in acceleration between different types of bike they could offer l-plate only days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
