I'm sure it's been said before, but taking a CBT (Compulsory Basic Test -required before you are allowed out on the road with L plates on for a motorbike) is good training, as is general road awareness that you would get just generally driving a car in busy streets. If you can drive a car you will know how drivers think.
(Spent a couple of my student years delivering pizzas on a 50cc moped -great fun despite the Robbie Jackson connotations, probably committed dozens of poor driving manouvres in my time but deffo increased road awareness.)
