Burnaby RCMP Want to Give Back to the Riding Community



Join us and do the RCMP Certification Skills Test, Learn about new laws and changes



The Burnaby RCMP Traffic Services is looking to host its first annual motorcycle skills and safety event on June 27, 2015 from 1100 am to 3:00 pm at Riverway Park (8605 Nelson Ave) in Burnaby.



Our goal is to promote motorcycle safety and enhance our public outreach in a way that is positive and public safety driven. Ultimately, we are offering the public the opportunity to train like we train and learn what we know by sharing our expertise and skills so that we can save lives.



Motorcycle officers will be on hand to chat with the public and answer their questions about how to ride more safely with a special emphasis on dawn and dusk riding. We will give them the most up-to-date information on motorcycle laws including details on learner and new motorcycle licences.



One of the main attractions will be a recertification course which is based on the RCMP motorcycle recertification. This recertification tests the skills of motorcyclists as they make their way through a riding course, carefully guided by RCMP officers. It is our hope that these riders will gain new skills and become more confident after riding through the course. RCMP Motorcade



RCMP motorcycle officers will also conduct a safety inspection to help identify and educate riders about the most common defects we see but which riders know little about. This is important as these common defects can negatively impact on proper visibility, compromising road safety.



No one wants to investigate injury crashes, so if we can give motorcyclists the skills and confidence they need to ride safely, then our job has been successful.
