Any tips to drill this into my head ?
Ive done my Mod1 now, and pretty much there with booking my Mod2, ive had a lesson today and sorted out most of my Obvs, Signal, Manoeuvre, but I keep missing my final lifesaver when doing right turns, not sure why as if their is a parked car etc in the road, i do it 100% of the time before i move position, but on turns i seem to forget
Hopefully just one of those things where i need a bit more time in the seat, going to practice it on my 125 in the coming days, the wife can correct me from behind on our intercom, but wondered if anyone had any tips |

I still have to get through my MOD 1 but I have to keep reminding myself of this exact same thing too. Also on roundabouts to do the life-saver in the direction of the possible danger as for some reason I do it over both shoulders. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

The habit I've been working in breaking is indicating before doing checks, it's a bad habit after 30 years of driving , I never manouver before checking but my instructor kept having a go at me for indicating without checking. I'm a lot better now just through practice. One thing I do us when I'm in the car I do checks like I'm on a bike I don't use the re view mirror and I perform shoulder checks , I may look a bit strange but it really helps with muscule memory. |

I stopped reading at the 'wife will correct me from behind'. Yes cheap thrills.
Good luck with your test. |

Can anyone explain why I get the following (solitary) targeted advert in the bottom panel in this thread?

IME these adverts tend to target the content of the thread rather than the user's internet browsing history... ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |

The ultimate final lifesaver has to be looking forward as you pull out onto a roundabout. I've seen so many smashes where people move forwards whilst still looking right and run into the car in front... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M
