We've teamed up with Passmasters Rider Training NZ to bring their incredible MotoMed motorcycle first aid course to Waimakariri (for free!) 🩹

🚨 Actions taken in the first few moments after an accident can be crucial in minimising injuries and can make a real difference to the lives of those involved. But there can be some uncertainty about what to do in these situations.

MotoMed is a training course run by riders for riders, designed to answer these uncertainties. The course uses the expertise of current Frontline Paramedics to prepare motorcyclists should the worst happen on the roads.

📍 Cricket Pavilion, MainPower Oval, Rangiora
📅 9am-4pm, 3 or 4 October
💸 Free of charge

Watch this space for details of the event that is being planned for a venue in Kaiapoi in September, which is Motorcycle Awareness Month.
