I wasn't that impressed with the bike safe course, it seems fixated on moving to the outer reaches of the corner for better visibility whether you need it or not and crossing the white line on the other side of the road, again for better visibility whether you need it or not. They're also obsessed with cutting the corner, because why turn if you don't have to...???? It's all good in principle, but they want you within the last 12-18 inches of road and yes that's where the road's collapsed, where you'll find raised ironworks and gravel. I couldn't see the benefit at the expense of losing my margin of error, especially at normal road speeds. At higher speeds and whilst "making progress," it's more important. They also seem to want you really close to the centre line where there's traffic, again for better visibility... seemed a bit of a nonsense to me. I got a B grade with some A's. Your lowest grade is your overall mark. The only things they picked me up on is not using enough of the road for better visibility and disjointed riding, i.e. I treated the road in sections, not one fluid bit of tarmac, but I didn't know the roads and there were steep sweeping adverse bends... Seemed a bit unfair to me. At the price any extra experience is worth it, but assess what they say and only use it if you agree. Make up your own mind...
