Side roads mod 2 DAS

Listen to your Instructor and follow their guidance.

When you take part two the DSA examiner will be looking for a confident and above all a safe ride where you minimise your exposure to danger.

Remember Mirror, Signal, Position, Speed, Look - this is the system of actions to follow whenever you encounter any hazard. The hazard is anything that has the potential to harm you

The beep from the HGV sort of indicates that he did not know what you were going to do, analyse your actions.

Do not hug the kerb, position you bike safely at all times and do all the actions in plenty of time.

Use your mirrors, and when turning right DO NOT forget the lifesaver look behind.

The Police use a system that has been adapted by the IAM who do advanced motorcycle training as well as the same for cars. The Police book on advanced riding is called Roadcraft and is in all WHSmith shops, I suggest that you buy it just make sure its the motorcycle version, this book will help with positioning and observation. For now ignore their system as it is different to the mspsl I mentioned earlier.

Bye the way I am an IAM Observer and ex driving instructor.

Good luck, let us know how things go

The Police Roadcraft book is very good I have a copy and find it useful for both bikes and cars and very useful :upyeah:
