BikeSafe
 
I'm doing my BikeSafe course in September.

To be honest, I'm not sure I need it, I'm a pretty good rider http://www.bestofyoutube.com/video.asp?videoid=1177 ;)

That's all the more reason to go and do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are hundreds, nay thousands of drivers/riders in this country who think, I'M GOOD, DON'T NEED ANY MORE TRAINING ESPECIALLY FROM PLOD, ACCIDENTS ARE WOT 'APPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE etc etc etc,,,,,,,,,,,,

Even if people are good but recognise there is always room for improvement, or even where there isn't room for improvement but recognise regular refresher training helps keep them safe then our roads would be a safer place for us two wheelers.

I've lost count of the number of accidents I've dealt with where ALL drivers/riders involved (whether to blame or innocent) say they are good, accidents don't usually happen to them BUT haven't had any refresher training for 10 years plus.

It's good to get your bad (read dangerous) habits pointed out to you, and reminded of all those little life savers that we were taught but have forgotten over the years.

If it saved your life would you still be making comments like "DON'T THINK I NEED IT" ????????????????
