Correct Lane Position


Recommended Posts

Dumb question alert!


Got my Mod 2 tomorrow on my 125 and being a skinflint have not had any formal training.


On a straight road, I've always ridden down the middle of the lane. But I've just read in the DSA Guide to Riding that you should "normally keep well to the left". Then it goes on to say you shouldn't "ride too close to the kerb or to the centre of the road".


I've just been out on the bike and I tried to keep further to the left, but it just felt weird!


Any suggestions?

Dominate the lane, and show confidence!


On a dual carriageway, ride in such a position that there can be no ambiguity about which lane you are in, and such that it prevents another vehicle pulling alongside in the same lane.


On a single carriageway, left of centre, but not too close to the drain covers, and not so trhat cars try to overtake where it's not safe to do so.


And congrats!
