Safety & Education
Safety, Education, and Awareness
ABATE of Illinois supports the education of all motorcyclists and the general motoring public as the most effective method for reducing motorcycle accidents, injuries and fatalities.
Motorcycle Awareness
ABATE of Illinois Motorcycle Awareness Program
ABATE of Illinois' motorcycle awareness program was developed with the new and inexperienced driver in mind, and teaches them how to look for, and interact in traffic with motorcycles.
Rider Education
ABATE of Illinois encourages all motorcyclists to complete both the BRC (Basic Rider Course) and the ERC (Experienced Rider Course,) which were developed by the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation and are sponsored by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
In our area the classes are held at ICC, Illinois Central College, or ISU, Illinois State University, administered by the ISU Motorcycle Safety Department.
A $20.00 deposit is required and is refundable upon course completion. Any Illinois resident 16 years of age or older who holds a valid drivers license or permit may register. Students less than 18 years of age must have parental
or legal guardian permission to participate in the class.
Classes fill up fast, please register early.
The 2008 Course Schedule will be posted here in late February 2008.
