Could you stop safely in an emergency? Practising hard braking is essential for every rider. Modern bikes with ABS make it easier, but technique still matters:
š“ Front brake first for maximum stopping power.
š“ Progressive squeezeādonāt grab suddenly.
š“ Keep eyes up and body relaxed to maintain control.
š“ Practice in a safe area to build confidence.
š“ Stopping distances increase on wet roads, so anticipate hazards early. The right skills can prevent a crash and save lives.

Why do people get upset about advanced riding content?
It's not a question I've really had to consider over on Instagram but on Facebook it inevitably brings out some angry people š¤·āāļø
Getting worked up about doesn't make a lot of sense and seems to fall into a couple of camps:
1) 'I've been riding 10-50 years and know better'
My response to this crowd is "do you though?" (The answer is inevitably no)...
It's a really strange attitude to think passing your initial driving test a long time ago somehow makes you a good rider.
In wider life it's quite normal to regularly undergo training to improve your skills rather than do one course at the start of your career and nothing else past that - so why should riding or driving be different?
To then move to thinking your very basic training a long time ago somehow trumps the research and input that goes into advanced training (it's been developed by experts over nearly 80 years) is exceptionally arrogant at best š¤·āāļø
2) 'Im not going to read the caption or actually pay attention to the content but I'll spout an opinion that goes directly against it and won't listen to reason...'
These are quite an easy group as they help boost the content and like to argue for no reason. Trying to engage in sensible discussion is like talking to a brick wall but can be entertaining at times.
3) 'Im going to claim some kind of spurious qualification and use this to justify my opinion'
There is always a 'driving examiner'/'trainer'/did a course that pops up and gives an opinion that demonstrably wrong.
Once shown to be wrong they'll then say their 'experience' (which is generally made up or exaggerated - like the advanced trainer who had a post on their profile showing they'd only just started teaching CBT's a matter of weeks ago..) justifies their point...
These tend to never back down from their imagined experience and point it's used to justify. I've taken to sending them the details of the panel that develop training and suggesting they offer their expertise š¤·āāļø
4) The idiot
These are probably the most fun group and they'll come out with something demonstrably wrong (it's illegal in any country in the whole world to turn without indicating being a recent one) and won't back down regardless of what their presented with.
For some reason these are overrepresented by Americans who can't fathom other countries exist but there are others...
Quite entertaining to wind up but tend to get increasingly angry and end up blocked š¤·āāļø
There are a few others but these are the main groups that come up.
My view is that any further training is a positive thing - arguing it's wrong is like arguing against science, it doesn't hold up....
There is no elitism or barrier to entry - training is fairly cheap and open to all. A small minority may lack the aptitude but the majority of riders are capable of reaching the standard needed for the various advanced tests - so getting upset about it makes even less sense.
So why do people get upset - my take is that, given it's inevitably older men is that they view riding as part of their 'manlyness' and simply can't accept there is a way they could do it any better so aren't willing to listen and would rather get angry about in instead š¤·āāļø
Do you get upset about content that shows you established best practice in riding or driving or are you a reasonable human being? Let me know š«” ... See MoreSee Less
