I couldn't disagree more, not with you but the policy of not teaching it on a CBT. The whole reason I started this post was because I was following a moped rider a few weeks ago who was a very inexperienced rider. We were going through a tight S bend and I could see he was desperate to show off his skills to me but was nervous at the same time. I decided to hang back and as we went through the S bend he was hanging off the scooter to try and get round the bend. He veered right across the road which forced him to take the second part of the blind bend on the wrong side of the road. Luckily for him nothing was coming around the bend at the time. I went round the bends at the same speed and could have done it a lot faster, but as I used Active Counter Steering I stayed on the correct side of the road.
If he had been taught Active Counter Steering on his CBT this would not have happened.
