Yamaha Safety Riding Science
December 4th, 2009Yamaha Motor India aims not only to sell its bikes; it also envisions creating a new generation of responsible riders. After achieving unprecedented success in Delhi, Nagpur and Mumbai, the Yamaha Safety Riding Science training event made its way to the idyllic beaches of Goa. Introduced by Yamaha Motor India to impart safe riding techniques and help contribute to an accident-free traffic environment, the event was attended by more than 100 enthusiastic bikers, most of them students. The programme was divided into two sections – a classroom session and a practical session wherein three practical skills were taught including slow balancing, slalom and braking. Yamaha has also prepared a short film, in which it has scientifically analyzed impact force, inertia force and frictional force from a road traffic viewpoint.
