I only watched a minute or so.


Have you ever had explained to you the importance of shoulder checks?


It seemed to me that you ride as if you're wearing a neck brace. Are you?

Like Bogof, I only watched a minute or so but didn't see any shoulder checks nor did I see you check your mirrors either? :violin:

You tend to ride in the centre of your lane. That's the dirty part where the cars and trucks drop all their engine oil.


when the bike is banked over, the camera position seems to be on the outside of the turn suggesting you're leaning your bike and keeping your body upright. 12:03 is a good example of what I mean.

Centre lane is where the police are teaching their riders to use now. Got advised about it on my bike safe course earlier this year.

seems odd they would advise a position that means riding in the dirty part of the road and also reduces visibility, and is slower.

too many bike cops been clipped by cars crossing the center line maybe??

They talked about dominating the lane and yes it's the dirty part of the lane but it's usually the driest too and less cars drip oil these days. I can only pass on what he told me. They were concerned about "encroachment" so you could well be right in your assessment.
