Did you know that the state of Idaho averages about 27 motorcycle rider fatalities a year? And, did you know that about 75% of fatal crashes are caused by rider error, not other vehicles?
On Tuesday April 30th, the Coeur d’Alene Police Department is offering a free class called, “Avoid a Ticket, Survive a Crash”. This two hour class will take place at Fire Station #3, located at 1500 N. 15th Street in CDA.
Any motorcycle rider, regardless of ability, experience, or type of bike that they ride is encouraged to attend. The class will focus on laws specific to motorcyclists and teach riders what type of hazardous situations to look for, anticipate, and avoid in order to avert an accident.
If you have any questions about the class, please contact Officer Nick Knoll at 208-769-2320.
We know that many of our great Silverlake Automotive customers also enjoy cruising motorcycles on beautiful days here in North Idaho. We urge those of you who ride to consider taking a couple of hours out of your schedule and attend this safety class.
