Maryland MOTORS - Student Registration

Part 1. Program description. Maryland MOTORS (Motor Officers Teaching Other Riders Safety) is a motorcycle safety class taught by motor officers from the Maryland State Police (MSP) and other allied Maryland law enforcement agencies. These safety classes have two parts. There is an interactive classroom lecture where civilian riders are taught rider safety and other topics such as safety gear, motorcycle risk and safe riding techniques by experienced police motor officers. There is a road portion whereby civilian riders are accompanied by the motor officers on an actual ride. During and after the ride, the officers communicate with the civilian riders about ways to stay safe, along with critiques of riding techniques intended to increase the safety of the civilian riders. There is also a low speed cone course which simulates the training exercises that police motor officers complete. The civilian rides will have an opportunity to try to negotiate this course with help and support from the police motor officers. The low speed course is held on a closed parking lot with no traffic and the course is designed for civilian use. This program is funded by a grant issued to the MSP by MDOT MVA’s Maryland Highway Safety Office (MHSO). The program is managed in partnership by the MSP and the MHSO. PART 2.
