Advanced Riding - Skills & Techniques

Even the most advanced riders consider they learn something every time they ride.  With practice you'll continually improve, but knowing where to begin can be difficult.  Motorcyclists run a much greater risk of suffering serious injury than car drivers, for obvious reasons.  Without the protective metal shell, air bags, seat belts and crumple zones that a car provides, there is no such thing as a minor accident.

Knowing you were legally in the right is largely irrelevant, as any contact may be serious.  However, if you take advantage of the observation, positioning and power available you can balance the risks. These tips are not aimed at getting you through your test, but should help you gain confidence and become a better rider once you’ve passed.

 

Some of the information in this section is not suitable for learnersThis section is aimed at people who have passed their motorcycle test. If you are preparing for your motorcycle test see test hints and tips. Safety must remain your primary and overriding concern when considering any of these techniques.
