This event had the following main objectives:

– Highlight that the self-reporting system in force is contributing to an increase in motorcyclist accidents and that, therefore, it should be reviewed;

– Defend the importance of mandatory training in driving schools to reduce accident rates involving motorcycles;

– Remember that driving schools made a large investment in replacing instruction motorcycles and have instructors specialized in training motorcyclists;

– Demonstrate that it does not make sense for candidates to continue learning alone on public roads, putting their lives and those around them at risk;

– Present suggestions for new topics to be covered in motorcyclist training;

The event also included a practical component, where participants were invited to try a set of exercises with motorcycles, which we believe could contribute to improving the level of preparation of new motorcyclists.

Manuel Picardi, Secretary General of the European Federation of Driving Instructors (EFA), expressed his satisfaction: “We are very pleased to have finally launched these courses. Despite some technical delays, we are moving in the right direction. We hope to set an example for driving instructors across Europe. The European institutions recognize the importance of this training in the process of obtaining a driving license, and they are considering the possibility of introducing a CPR training module. Driving instructors should be the ones authorized to provide this essential training.”

Federico Semeraro, Chair Elect of the European Resuscitation Council, shared his enthusiasm for this pivotal initiative in Italy, stating, “I am very happy about this first step to implement a European vision.”
