Default BikeSafe Booked

Wasn't really intending to, but was bored and ended up browsing to the website...and booked on for 31st July.

I'm sure I'll have a great day as I have heard no negative reviews about it.

Bit unsure on how I'll need to adjust my riding though...I'm by no means a menace on the road but I'm not exactly "by the letter of the law" either. I ride pretty much as fast as I feel is safe but most of the time this is over the limit I think. Dont even pay that much attention to the speedo. Is that bad?

Just wondering how um, strict the police bikers are?

Definately not looking forward to being told my them I ride like ****

But very much looking forward to learning a thing or two about making progress more safely, as I am aware I have had a few close calls which could have ended up badly.

If I learn something that directly or indirectly enables me to prevent an accident, it's well worth the £55 I think.

They will point out your failings but definitely expect you to observe speed limits.I don't mean coming into a 30 at 50 then slowing down but actually be doing 30 when you enter the limit[Example]
