MOTORCYCLISTS have been given the chance to learn life-saving first aid.
Despite making up just 1% of road users, bike riders account for nearly 20% of traffic deaths and serious injuries.
So the St John Ambulance is offering a special course for motorcyclists at its centres in Ossett and Sheffield to deal with severe bleeding, shock, unconsciousness and helmet removal.
The day-long course costs £47 per person, with group discounts available.
