Project Ride concentrates on attitude and skill development as a vital means of
encouraging safe driving performance. Students are taught the art of strategic
riding with an emphasis on a caring, responsible and defensive attitude towards
road use.
The course introduces students to various aspects of road use, traffic laws, as
well as concentrating on correct and safe procedures for dealing with Bermuda’s
congested roads.
