Sorry mate, but you're wrong.
In most parts of the country, Bikesafe is a two-day, 7 or 8 hours per day intensive course. It covered far more than the basics, too. Without a doubt, the best £80 I spent last year on anything.
Me and my mate did over 250 miles of rides with a Police rider, 125 miles each was assessed. There are moves to standardise this format over the whole country and the intercomparisons and benchmarking between police forces was well underway last year.
TimWilky - check out your local IAM group. For the same price as Bikesafe you'll get all the advanced training and assessment you need, and will get 10% off your insurance once you've passed.
I'm going down this route in April, and it seems are many of the South Wales contingent - it'll look like a job-lot
