A pair of avid bikers might want to make sure their bike insurance is up-to-date before they start giving lessons at a new training school for motorcyclists.

The facility has been developed in Cleethorpes by local men Andrew Baines and Ian Bensley, the Grimsby Telegraph reports.

Both men were working as motorcycle instructors at another training school when they met and decided to set up their own venture based at Wonderland Market car park.

As well as providing guidance for the Compulsory Basic Training test, the school - entitled A2B Motorcycle Training - also helps students pass the Direct Access test.

Mr Baines, aged 33, told the publication: "By working for ourselves we can do lessons to suit ourselves and our pupils."

Meanwhile, ThisisHullandEastRiding.co.uk recently reported that bikers in the area are being urged to take extra care on the roads after three fatalities took place in the space of a week.

Humberside Police's road policing sergeant Chris Hood urged bikers to ensure they are properly qualified to stay safe, stating "we need to make sure riders are qualified and we want to encourage them to take further training".
