Building a Better Base for Biker Training Artwork

DIA Motormouth

Unlike a webinar or traditional industry podcast, we'll be pulling together leading figures in their fields to discuss, dissect and debate key issues for driver and rider trainers. Known as a Motormouth myself and not afraid of a bit of ruck, we'll be asking challenging questions and discussing challenging views with people who like to challenge the status quo. We'll either have you shouting at your screen or cheering us on! I'll be joined by established and well-known figures or organisations in or impacting our world - but also those new on the scene, so we get a good mix of experienced insights and fresh viewpoints.

Are we giving riders the strongest possible foundations for lifelong safe riding?

In this episode of Motormouth, host Carly Brookfield, CEO of the DIA, is joined by Mark Jaffe, Chief Motorcycle Examiner at Diamond Advanced Motorists, alongside motorcycle policy expert Craig Carey-Clinch and IAM RoadSmart Chief Examiner Richard Gladman.

Together, they explore the fundamentals of rider training, discussing machine control, hazard awareness, decision making, rider mindset and the role trainers play in developing safer riders for the future.

A thought-provoking discussion packed with professional insight, practical experience and ideas for anyone involved in rider training, road safety or motorcycling.
