Observations were carried out at 42 motorcycle training centres run by the royal automobile club and the auto cycle union (RAC/ACU centres) during 1979. Trained observers visited each centre three times to see how the theoretical and practical instruction was carried out. The results show that there are a number of ways of approaching the problems of motorcycle training, for different centres have developed methods of organization and training. The survey highlighted some of these differences and also indicated some general weaknesses which were found at a number of centres. A problem at many centres was seen to be the lack of adequate record keeping and the consequent timewasting for trainees which could occur. On the other hand, at most centres there was a good instructor/pupil ratio. (Author/publisher)
