One thing that is very clear, is that every group has developed their own way of training associates, getting them through the test, and putting across what it is they are trying to teach.

There's also a counter argument for everything. Orose may say that you should be moving your head to look directly into the mirror, others may say it's sometimes advisable to trail the rear brake when slowing down, as the engine braking on some bikes can be more powerful than the vehicle behind is expecting.

Like I said earlier - toolbox - if you don't like a tool that's in there, don't use it. Trouble is, some of them you have to use to get through the test, whether you like them or not.
