A useful Video from the Highways Agency

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

I know this is a video, but I figured more people would see it in here and it's actually worth a watch for the new season even if just to refresh stuff.

Not the usual tripe either.

Looks like a good refresher for the summer bikers

Although having said that I'm sure the ones that are most likely to end up in a ditch would think themselves above watching it.

i wonder if he always rides like that?



Was something i didnt agree with though mabee because im a rookie


When he is in the countryside he comes to a near blind left hand bend and goes up to the center line. It had me thinking what if someone was to cut over the line slightly from the other direction he would have no time to react.

I enjoyed watching that but i wonder if he ride's like that all the time.

Also wonder what his excuse would be if had an accident in that busy high street.

" sorry officer i was too busy looking at the reflection in the shop window of the junction and never saw the old woman hobble into the road"

Good vid though.

Vid was ok, not sure I learnt a lot and the guy needs to live a little though Probably rides a lot faster on his own time

Only thing I don't agree with is using signals like the "slowing down" one. 95% of people will have no fecking clue what that means and will be confused, better to wave them out imo. The 5% that do know are probably the ones that take their driving more seriously anyway and are less likely to kill you doing something stupid.

Great vid, its amazing when you here it narrated cause thats going on in your head all the time your riding, slow down to let other vehicles out I dont do if theres someone behind me because I'll get shunted unless its perfectly safe to do so, really good anyway, well found

although a lot of what he was saying/doing was right, he was a little dull and overdoes it a bit IMO, almost sucks the fun out of it by over analyzing everything, which is a good thing for the safety side of things, but its like wearing a jonny for sex, sure its safer but its sooo much much more satisfying going in bareback

I think the majority of 'good' riders will do all this sub-consciously... well I would hope they would, what he was saying/doing was just common road sense to me. Looking over/through hedges on the country roads. Reading the signs and the road marks to give you a clue to whats a head. Observing that vehicles could need extra room etc.

Got to remember he will be trying to rider 'safer' because he is being filmed.

Excellent, I should get my free DVD copy soon then. You could sign up for it at the NEC show.

Here's part one that I ripped a while back if anyone is hasn't seen it. I put the whole DVD on there in sections.

The hedge trimmer thing wasn't moving, so he would have had to wait a while...
