At left hand junctions i prefer to be out more to the centre of the road which gives me an earlier view into the junction and more visible to emerging traffic,also more time to apply diversionary tactics, even if there is right hand bend coming up...any thoughts?
@pmatty77 - You must always be travelling on the right place on the road, right speed, right gear for every hazard. The margin of safety or 'Your Own Comfort Zone' must feel right to you at all times. You have developed a good way to doit, BUT do you move out far if the is traffic coming the other way. This rider had only been going 10minutes and had the BMW a week after a long time away from biking. Although safe, a fair bit of room for improvement. He will be back
@advancedbiker I would say position 2 for me but that is my personal preference and am not advanced myself but working towards it,i wasn't trying to critisize the rider just see what peoples view is...
@pmatty77 Good response to the video clip. That is what Youtube is all about and I would encourage people like yourself to get involved. It makes all the time and effort of doing these vids worthwhile. Thanks
Which voice is the instructor. the louder or quieter voice?

@MATTNATTMATT The louder voice is the rider in front, when I could say a word, I was the quieter one.
