SAPOL Road Safety Centre - A Guide To Obtaining Your Motorcycle Licence Road Safety Session

Despite a steady decline in the number of lives lost on South Australian roads over the past decade, motorcycle riders continue to be over represented in road trauma statistics. Obtaining a licence is a very exciting time for riders and it is important that they are aware of licence conditions and road rules. This session is a must for people obtaining their motorcycle learner’s permit.
