Quite understandable why so many people are scared of riding motorbikes. The paradox is I bet you'll quite happily jump without a second thought on a bicycle and pedal down a hill doing 45 mph wearing nothing more than a polystyrene helmet fastened to your head with a clip on strap, lycra shorts, tee shirt, no gloves, trainers. After the test many bikers continue with further training like IAM, Bike Safe, Californian SB School, etc. Modern bike training makes you ride defensively and assume everybody is an idiot. If anything, riding bikes has made me a better driver and cyclist. You become more observant and considerant of your surroundings instead of being cocooned in a metal box with ICE thumping away. I wager very few car drivers continue with any advance training after their test. It's another life skill to add to your petrol head CV.
