TARIK Kiddoe, conceptualiser of Back To Basics (BTB) motorcycle safety workshop, is pleased with the turnout of participants to last Sunday’s free session held at the Youth Innovation Centre in Lucea, Hanover.

“The major highlight was that we had our first female participant in the western parishes, Petal Gayle. She earned a few fans at the event, as she was smooth in the handling of her motorcycle during practical assessments. As all eyes and cheers went up for her, she showed a few signs of nervousness, but did well under pressure. In the classroom she excelled, scoring highly on written exams as well,” Kiddoe told the Jamaica Observer’s weekly Auto magazine.

“We got nearly a full classroom in our first attempt. Our sponsors and partners, Insurance Association of Jamaica, Sandals, and Jamaica Gasoline Retailers Association (JGRA), were definitely pleased with the turnout as well. Not just with the final numbers, but also with the fact that most persons actually did come on time.”

The workshop had a maximum 30 designated spots.
