WYAMs has invited YOU!

SAM members are cordially invited to an evening with Dr Jac Billington (Professor in Perceptual Neuroscience) and Ibrahim Ozturk PhD (Institute of Transport Studies).

Dr Jac will do a presentation on the ‘Psychology for Reasoning: Drivers/Riders habits, behaviours and decision making. How to understand and control your own behaviour on the road and deal with the behaviours of other road users.

Ibrahim will do a presentation on the Science of Being Seen and how to avoid a SMIDSY event when riding.

The West Yorkshire Advanced Motorcyclists Goup are collaborating with the University of Leeds on the psychology of riding and driving. Some members have signed up to take part in a simulator study into how riding/driving decisions affect road users in different simulated environments.

This very worthwhile event takes place on Thursday, 22nd June 2023, starting at 7.30pm, at the Churwell Working Mens Club, Old Road, Churwell, Leeds LS27 7RR.

SAM members: your help in supporting this important road safety event is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Be safe - ALWAYS carry your Biker I.C.E card!

Riding a motorcycle comes with risks. In an accident, motorcyclists’ injuries are likely to be more serious than those of other road users. To reduce these risks, the Biker I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) Card is a simple but essential tool for riders. It’s easy to use and convenient to carry. It can be folded to fit in your wallet and handed to anyone who needs it, not just accident responders.

The Biker I.C.E. Card contains all necessary information. It has contact information, important health, medical and doctor’s details, a list of medications and your doctor’s contact. If you’re in an accident, emergency services can use the card to quickly understand your health and medical needs t0 provide you with the best care possible.

Just fill in your email address below. We will keep you updated of any design changes. The card is given as FREE public service that you can use and share as many times as you like. You simply add details like your NHS or travel insurance numbers, as these can help emergency responders access your healthcare records or handle costs when travelling abroad.

Sheffield Advanced Motorcyclists, well known for our quality assured advanced rider training, support the use of this card. It can be a critical safety tool. While training improves road safety, the card ensures you get the right help should things go wrong.
