Free training course looking at how and what you teach drivers about cycling and cyclists this Sunday in Hackney
A NEW 3.5 hour training module is aimed at enabling Driving Instructors to develop a short in-car teaching module for new drivers. The module comprises of two elements: a practical cycling module and a classroom session.
In the classroom: Driving instructors discuss their experience of cycling and of teaching driving. Discuss common myths and misconceptions around cycling, and develop some teaching points for them to use with new drivers.
On bike module: Driving instructors begin with learning/refreshing their basic bike control, then go on road to explore how trained and untrained cyclists ride on the road and in different types of infrastructure, then focus on what drivers should do in these places.
