On Public Roads
|
|
Approx
2 hours of supervised training, in radio contact & riding
on public roads. |
For the public road
training all students wear a short range radio receiver and can
therefore receive guidance, instruction, encouragement and warning
of possible dangers from the instructor. Your safety on the roads
is our highest priority.
Certification
When you have satisfactorily
completed all five elements you will be issued with a Certificate
of Completion of Training (DL196). This is a legal document which
serves to validate the relevant entitlements on the driving licence.
Details of all aspects
of the legislation, and guidance on the options available can
be found on the DSA website.
