Motorcycle Training with the CBT
Motorcycle training has improved in leaps and bounds during the last 20 years, certainly in the UK at least. The quest to see motorcycle safety taken to a new level was perhaps started in 1990 with the introduction of the compulsory basic training or CBT. The CBT is a mandatory training program that all new motorcyclists must complete before they can legally ride a motorbike on the public highways. The reward for completion of this compulsory basic training is a certificate known as the DL196 which allows the holder to legally take a moped or motorcycle onto the roads, providing the machine is no bigger than 125cc and learner plates are clearly displayed for a two year period from the moment the certificate is awarded. Motorbikes have perhaps had somewhat of a bad rap in the past with many believing that safety issues needed to be urgently addressed and since the introduction of the CBT, motorcycle training and the centres that conduct the training have improved dramatically. The results of better training and more stringent testing are safer roads for the public and motorcyclists who are much better equipped to deal with the demands and hazards that are often faced on the public highways. Training centres offer a haven of protection for those wishing to ride motorbikes on the roads and all of the testing and training is conducted under the watchful eye of seasoned experts who can offer the novice a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as providing all of the relevant equipment.
