MOTORCYCLISTS' movements are being watched to cut down on fatalities on North Yorkshire's roads.
North Yorkshire Police are running a new course, part of which involves officers watching the way motorcyclists ride and giving them feedback.
It comes after a recent spate of deaths in the region.
The course mixes classroom skills workshops along with the observed rides.
People on the £50 course are also shown the skills needed to pass an advanced biker's driving course.
Sergeant Pete Mason, who heads the county's Bike Safe scheme, said: "The aim is very simple. We just want to have an informal chat with any fellow rider who wants to drop by and talk about better, safer riding.
"We can show them how we ride safely and well. In our experience, good riding is also the most enjoyable sort of riding."
