is that part of the training "After nearly being knocked off your bike CHASE the b*******d down like a dog :)

[advancedbiker]

@blobby1972 - Sorry RED MSIT on my part.......Then I thought 'I shouldn't being doing this chasing !' - No point.

@advancedbiker I'm supposed to position myself in the centre of the road when taking a module 2 test but what about when im going around a left or right turn?

if i was to turn right on a bend do i position myself the the lefter side of the lane so oncoming traffic can see me quicker?

One more thing:

do you know anywebsite that will show me road positions for module 2 test because i know mod2 and advanced are different and you can fail mod2 if u use advanced techniques.

THANKS

@G00g284 - I can not paste a web site addresson here, but if you search in Google for this company Learn 2 Ride you willfind his site. He is also on Youtube - Good luck. If you are on Facebook I can put you onto to some good pages.

@advancedbiker I agree but I would have done the same as you and hopefully backed off when you did – that was to close for comfort. So many great learning points in this clip it is untrue – Thank you for sharing.

[advancedbiker]

@A19Denmore Thanks - When I think about it, I know why it happened......The main road ran along side a railway line, to our left and the road look straight for a considerabledistance UNTIL......Half way along the straight there was the tunnel and a chevron board pointing us right. I think the BMW car driver thought, I'll have these motorcyclists on the straight and then OH SH*t - Road goes right !

The question is, did you stop the bmw driver and give him a slap!!

No but seriously there are too many of these stupid muppets on the roads that dont seem to give a toss about bikes, or anyone!

Yes a chase is in order for me too looking for driver age, sex, general identifing features and of course rego. Time date and roa. New Zealand reporting system can be filled out but useless without those details.

where's the near miss ?

[G00g284]

@advancedbiker I don't have Facebook, but i will make one for these purposes.

Fact is the bmw could have been resposable for killing or seriously injuring both riders... i would have chased him too! but your probably very wise for holding back. Car drivers are taught to be careful around vunerable road users like bikes...
