Advanced police riding video.

[-Savage-]

Nothing spectacular, but pretty interesting to watch as he gives his running commentary, constantly talking and nearly can't talk fast enough lol.

All I could hear was 'nearside mirror' and 'offside mirror'

[Alexio]

That was interesting, but in my mind not really any different to an average rider who is in the zone and in their highest mode of being observant and having fun trying to nail as many aspects of riding and observation as possible.

I know the difference is that sometimes we can go a bit slower and be able to concentrate a whole lot less when they don't always have that luxury, but anyone who wants to practice riding like this ought to be just as competent in no time

Advance safety? Pffft. didn't do a lifesaver/check his blindspot on that very first overtake

Or on the second one.


Advanced my ass

True, although on certain roads (long ones) I would say that if you have been using your mirrors correctly you'll know with a 99% chance of being right when it's impossible someone could have gotten in your blind spot without you noticing. That's if you're glancing at them ever 5 seconds or so like you should be doing.

But most of the time, you should definitely be doing your proper checks. It's just that occasionally when riding in an overly-exuberant manner I think it's safe enough to assume there's no one else doing the same as you (without you noticing), and if they were then they would probably not overtake you until they knew that you were aware of them. And that's when the race is on

The race is on 24/7

Doesn't stop me from doing lifesavers though


Only place I won't do them is on track...

Though I know I will subconsciously do them at points

I found the checking the nearside mirror a bit odd but I suppose it makes sense. I might start doing it.

I'm used to checking the offside mirror, and I think a quick blind spot check is often a good idea.

In fact it once saved me, when a dick I was riding with decided to overtake me, after I had indicated I was going to overtake, had started the manouever, and had to pull back in, as he had decided to try to beat me to the overtake from behind.

If I hadnt done the blind spot check, I would have pulled right out into him.

Interesting, and common sense.

I do tend to check both mirrors -analogous to looking at the rear view mirror and wing mirror in the car and do a blind spot/shoulder check when I move out to over-take.


ps. Isn't it amazing how fast the NSL appears on a youtube Police video?

Advanced riders I have spoken to say if you are doing a lifesaver it should be a while before you pull out for the overtake, you dont want to be coming up to the car in front looking behind you!
If you plan your overtake your mirrors are enough (on most bikes) I do an early ish lifesaver because I have shitty mirrors.
