On this upload we're looking at the tactic of backing up vehicles behind you to control the space upfront when slowing down for standing traffic or approaching junctions. This is a great way to influence other vehicle behaviour and therefore keeping you safer from potential rear end collisions and protect you from inattention. Also look at some of the road positioning techniques around other vehicles and see how I position my bike to get an improved line of sight when I'm dealing with commercial vehicles or cars with dark windows.
I'm Neil & welcome to THE RIDER GUIDER, the number one defensive motorcycle riding tips channel on YouTube. Let me tell you a secret! We're not going to win the war against inattention on our roads. In actual fact it's only going to get worse since we now have addictive electronic devices not only in our hands but built in to vehicles apparently to assist the 'driving experience'. Since the invention of motorcycles, bikers have been trying to educate motorists to think bike whenever they pull out of a junction or change lane. The only way we're going to survive on our motorbikes is by improving ourselves & changing our expectations of motorists because we can't rely on them to improve their driving. For the best online defensive riding guide, subscribe and I'll show you what I see, what I do, how I ride, how I've survived over three decades of motorcycling. It doesn't matter if you're new to riding or not, subscribe & click that little bell to make sure you get a notification when I upload some valuable new content. There'll be regular uploads of what I do, plus keep an eye out for my QUICK TIPS, just short clips of my experience I'm sharing to help you stay safe on your motorbike.
Thanks for joining me!
