While taking the course, I think I drove the instructors a bit mad with my questions on how some of the safety things they were showing me applied to a scoot that didn't have a foot brake, etc. As a result I was approached by the head instructor for Alberta Saftey Council regarding a scooter training program. He wanted to know if I wanted to participate in a scooter defensive driving program and if I knew of any other scooterist who might want to help out. I advised them that I'm interested and would pass the info on to you guys.
So here is the info:
Alberta Saftey Council is looking at doing a pilot program regarding scooter defensive driving and are looking for 10 scooterist and thier scoots to try out the class. The class would be free to those participating. From what I can gather it does not matter if you are and experienced rider or a newbie like me, they are looking for feed back from all levels of riders. I would assume that you have your Class 6 as you would need to bring your scoot to the class. At this time they do not have any dates set up as they have not been able to find 10 scooterist with scooters. My motorcycle classes were in the evening after work and on the weekend, so I'm assuming the scooter class would follow the same schedule.
If you are interested let me know by PM or on the forum. I'll need your name and phone number so that I can pass this on to Alberta Saftey Council. If you want to contact them for more info I will have the contact name and number at the Sunday meeting and will post it later (I can't find it right now.
