Cam Rider Driving Instructor Review from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Fairly unprofessional company. Did CBT and while safety was taken fairly seriously the insuructor was not nice. He was rude and patronising to myself and others. On the road we used some cheap ebay PMR446 type radios with a cheap earpiece. Only 1 and it wasnt even fitted in the helmet correctly. We were simply expected to slide it up the side of the helmet and hope it didnt slip out while riding. The audio quality was poor which was incredibly distracting during the on road practical section. A more professional system is absolutely required. The theory parts were also very boring with the instructor often boasting about himself. All in all...if they are your only option and you dont mind having a fairly mediocre or bad experience then go for it. If you want something a bit more professional then look elsewhere.

Camrider Motorcycle Training Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Camrider is the worst motorcycle training company out there. Please avoid if you want to stay happy. If I had read a review before I booked I would have avoided them like a virus. They will steal your money, they will change your course start times at last minute and they won't give you a refund. I'm actually shocked these companies are still around. Please please avoid.

Cam Rider Cbt Training Review from London, London

Booked a CBT through CamRider. Booked and paid 2 months in advance. On the day of training no instructor, no bike, no record of booking or payment. Was told to leave and I would be called the next morning. After chasing them with phone calls I get an email response saying they don't know what happened and didn't bother trying to re-book the training and just fobbed me off. Still waiting to get my money back and they say they are looking into why this happened.

Camrider should be called SCAMRIDER

BE VERY VERY WARY OF THIS COMPANY Camrider are only interested in parting you from your money, try changing your mind a couple of hours after booking a course online and they'll scam you for a 10% "administration charge" on the full price of the course. They'll deduct 10% of the full price of the course from the deposit you've just paid and then have the cheek to send you a cheque through the post a couple of weeks later for what's left even though you paid the deposit by card. They'll refuse to refund it back to your card even though it's illegal (refunds have to be made through the same method as payment according to regulations) and seem to think cooling off periods are just for other companies not them. Very underhanded and morally corrupt recommend as company to avoid unless you like being taken for a ride

Beware of booking your motorcycle CBT test with CamRider

No. the issue has not been resolved, since the DVLA earn revenue from the likes of SCAMRider, so they stopped further correspondence.

I have since learned of many others having encountered the same experience. Remember, among the instructors many boasts he stressed that `he' was the `go to' guy for the DVLA.

Original review Nov 29, 2014
"With the intention of buying a scooter and having had no experience of riding a motorcycle or scooter, I booked a CBT test. There were 2 other learners. However, they were experienced motorcyclists. One was doing an advanced course. Due to their experience and that they were on motorcycles, I obviously felt intimidated and nervous, as I'm sure most people would. However, CamRider obviously did not take this into account, indicating a clear attempt at fraud. In addition to this, the instructor spent most of the morning on his ego and talking incessantly about himself. Whatever our vocations were, he had to have done better. He also boasted that he was the "Go to" guy for the DSA, implying that he or CamRider had a great deal of influence with the DSA, which became apparent later in my attempts to get justice. Since I was immediately under pressure as a novice, my self-confidence was shattered from the start, as anyone would expect. Surely, any right thinking person or regulating authority would see that this was an unprofessional and irregular practice. As a result, the instructor dismissed me from the course, telling me that he didn't have time, as he had to get the other other 2 lads out onto the road. I anticipated this dismissal and expressed it to one of the other learners, who was supportive of my position and described the instructors behavior as `in-the-face'. After researching other motorcycle training providers, I learned from them that it is unlawful for an instructor to take more than 2 learners on a CBT test, which would explain that there was never any intention of taking a third onto the test to begin with, leaving the only plausible intention being to extort money. I should stress at this point that they all had similar codes of practice and training methods, apart from CamRider. Two had expressed negative feedback on CamRider's ethics. Upon my return home, I phoned the Camrider contact who had taken my initial booking and complained about the conduct of their instructor. After consulting with his colleague he then returned to me and attempted to extort a further £57, after I had already paid £115 for a full day. After making further inquiries, I was advised to take the matter further. It became apparent that among most providers, it was standard practice to include in their package for the initial fee "to provide continual training until you reach the required safe standard and are ready for the road". I sent an email to CamRider, describing my experience. One of their CEO's emailed me to say that he would be investigating the complaint, which included contacting the other 2 learners, which either they clearly did not do OR one of them provided negative feedback on CamRider. Throughout the investigation, I stressed to the CEO that the conduct of the instructor was a separate issue, and that the more important matter was the fact that I was not placed on an equal playing field in order to complete the course successfully. On each occasion that I attempted to remind the CamRider CEO of this, he ignored it. In his final conclusion, he included an alleged review from the advanced learner, yet provided none from the other, which led me to further suspect the integrity and honesty of all the positive reviews contained on the CamRider website. I feel their response was heavily biased and was not independently investigated. The CamRider so-called investigator ignored and consistently refused to take into account the important issues raised, as I attempted on several occasions throughout the investigating procedure to remind him about. It was the same experience with the DSA. CamRider sent me an email attachment, with the outcome of the investigation, mostly comprising of suspicious positive reviews of the company, including one allegedly from one of the advanced learner on the same course. Upon further independent investigation, I have learned that others have encountered similar experiences with CamRider. However, It would seem that their ego-maniacal, arrogant, bigoted instructor may have been right about one thing, and that is the cozy relationship with the DSA, which clearly wreaks of corruption. Both CamRider and the DSA have refused to acknowledge any further correspondence since. I would strongly advise anyone thinking of doing their CBT test with CamRider to avoid at all costs.

You are ridiculous and have no business riding a scooter. Your confidence is much too fragile and your ideas of "right thinking" much too rigid.

The response probably is from someone at CAMRider, since they have invented positive reviews and blocked all negative feedback.

Beware of CAM Rider CBT

It seems that (S)CAMrider have amassed quite a reputation for two things. One is to lure novices into taking the CBT with them by creating fake positive reviews. The second is to take more than 2 learners on a CBT test, with the intention of sending one or more home without completing it, having already secured their fee, since apparently it is illegal for one instructor to take more than 2 learners at once. To resume the remainder of their course, they tried to extort a further fee (half of the full day already paid for) for the lost day they cancelled. Most CBT providers let you resume your test at your own convenience with no additional fees incurred since you have already paid for the expected full day tuition. There is also the conflict of interests with the DSA, since according to one of CAMrider's overbearing, ego-maniacal instructors, he is their "Go to" man. Apparently, the CEO of CAMrider has close connections to the DSA too, so it would hardly be surprising that they receive shares of the extorted stolen profits with them.
