Taking place on Tuesday 30 June 2026, 6:00pm–6:40pm via Microsoft Teams, the ‘Ready to Ride & Ready for Safety: Young Rider Webinar 2026’ is being led by Warwickshire Road Safety Education in partnership with the National Young Rider Forum, a national body dedicated to improving rider safety.

The event comes at a critical time, with recent figures showing 384 riders were killed on Great Britain’s roads in 2025, reinforcing the need for early education and awareness.
Aimed at 16 – 24-year-olds, as well as parents, carers and family members supporting a new rider, the 40-minute session will provide clear, practical advice to help young people stay safe, confident and informed from the outset.
Attendees will hear directly from industry experts on:
Preparing for riding with DVSA Ride Free training
Understanding and completing Compulsory Basic Training (CBT).
Choosing the right protective equipment (PPE).
Attendees will also have the opportunity of taking part in a live Q&A with professionals.
With more young people turning to motorcycles for independence, travel and work, the webinar will also highlight the importance of making safe decisions and building good habits early.
Cllr Stephen Shaw, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning, said: “Warwickshire Road Safety Education continues to work with partners to support young people in developing the skills and awareness needed to stay safe on the roads. The webinar forms part of a wider commitment to reducing serious and fatal collisions and creating safer road environments for everyone.”
