Prevention of Motor Vehicle Accidents requires each driver of a military or privately owned motorcycle or moped who is authorized to operate on an Army installation to complete an Army-approved motorcycle safety course. This pamphlet contains the provisions of that course. The Army Motorcycle Safety Program (AMSP) has been developed to reduce the number and severity of the Army's privately owned vehicle (POV) motorcycle accidental losses. The systemic cause factors identified in DoDI 6055.7: Mishap Investigation, Reporting, and Record keeping are not reported for off duty accidents. However, most motorcycle accidents are the result of driver error as shown by loss of control, excessive speed, and alcohol abuse. Severity of juries are increased by drivers not wearing the proper protective equipment. The Army Motorcycle Safety Program addresses these general errors. Studies have shown that rider education can reduce the probability of being involved in an accident. The AMSP provides a comprehensive program of training courses, media awareness (posters, brochures, pamphlets), and technical support to improve the safety of motorcycling within the Army. The U.S. Army Safety Center is the proponent for POV motorcycle safety and the approving authority for course curriculum. The Safety Center evaluates installation motorcycle programs and courses. Installation safety offices administer the installation Motorcycle Safety Program, supply instructor candidates, set up classrooms and ranges, and track trained instructors. Army motorcycle safety instructors conduct classroom and hand-on skills training and end- of-course evaluations. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation certifies qualified instructors and records all course completions and certifications.
