I trained the IAM's chief instructor who agreed completly with all national standard cycle training messages apart from one thing
What was that one thing? I gotta know.... ;-)
Can I add the note that the training syllabus is so often reduced, in these kind of conversations, to two points. Primary Position and Keeping up with Traffic.
There is so much more to it which is why even experienced riders (like me!) always say they get something valuable from the course despite their expectations. Skydancer's point about risk awareness is spot on.
