Motorcyclists could save on their bike insurance policies, due to new plans, being set by the Government, according to national newspaper the Times.
According to the newspaper, transport secretary Ruth Kelly this week met with officials from across the insurance sector to assess requirements which need to be met before drivers can pick up a full licence.
It added that plans to make post-licence courses available to motorists in which they can hone their driving skills, have also been discussed. It may be that a course highlighting advanced motoring skills helps motorbike riders save on their motorbike insurance policies, as cover firms could view them as less of a risk.
A Department for Transport source said: "We want people to go on improving their driving skills throughout their driving careers. This is about creating the right sort of education and incentivising people to do it.”
This comes as the newspaper announced this week, that a BTEC in driving science will soon be made available to young people.
