    i am also a motorbike rider ..full bike licence for over 30 yrs and I cycle and have cycled all my life... I know there r idiot motorcyclists n cyclists too... but i believe if more people had experience of motorcycling or cycling it would make them more aware of the dangers on the road...

    100% agree with this. Riding a motorcycle (properly) gives much better road sense, you look further ahead, scrub speed before the manoeuvre and generally develop a sixth sense about people doing stupid things.

    Indeed, that's a game changer, swerve avoidance or otherwise.


    I've done some advance rider training and its worth 100 times the value of the time spent doing it. Roadcraft is an excellent system!

    The other insurer wants to minimise costs ... they do this by dealing direct with the affected party rather than that party's insurer, who will add their own costs, inflated accident management company fees, inflated hire car fees etc.

    Insurers complain about the inflated costs of accidents, yet they are the biggest culprits in this!
