Why are all these people trying to execute a man that is taking his own time to help others? I am about to take my test and I find myself looking for clarification on rear observations. This just did that and thank you. All the haters, trade your dummies in for a bike or a fresh nappy and ask your mum to change you but leave the helpful alone! I liked the checks when entering a new road. Gives a nice prompt to cancel them signals. Thank you

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

+Scooty Man Thanks fella. Important thing is to take out of the demo what you like, and what you can benefit from. This is how i ride, this is how i teach, and ive been riding since 1972 so im not going to change now :-) I like nothing better than to get interaction from folk, weather its a 16 year old just starting out, or an 80 year old...............We all have an opinion :-)

“New road check my mirrors “ is Brilliant advice , my examiner said today I was 100% with mirrors on my test

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Fantastic

[@scootyman2974]

Thanks Rob. I passed my Mod 2 on Friday with one minor fault for slow speed but instructor said my observations were very good. Every new road I cancel indicators, check mirrors and it makes you concentrate on the new situation you're in every time. Thanks again

Hi, a car driver for 40 years, now relearning from the motorcyclists perspective...and test looming!! thanks for sharing this practice and safety routine, so important to identify who is behind and where! the mirror blind-spot often will not catch the speeder or the over-taker/undertaker from the left.. lifesavers are a ticket to ride!! ..safely... all the very best to you..

[@leebrady3640]

Just completed a five hour lesson before my mod 2 this Friday. The lady teaching me told me I don't need to do a lifesaver when pulling out to pass parked cars and when pulling back in. This goes against everything I've been told before. Also not to bother indicating if cars aren't behind me. Feels like if I follow this advice im going to fail miserably!

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Pulling away from behind a stationary vehicle from a standstill yes a lifesaver is necessary. Changing position whilst travelling because of stationary vehicles then consider a lifesaver if your mirrors are not enough? Depending on the distance you are covering. Indicate to change positions? Overtaking stationary vehicles? Unlikely. We have some great videos on here for mod 2. Take a look and ask away any questions

[@montelbooner]

Just found your videos, thanks very much. They are very informative and really useful. I plan to take my advanced motorcycle course soon, purely to make myself a smoother and safer rider. This is what your videos are teaching. What angers me is all these morons who criticise and say ‘too many mirror checks’ or ‘you shouldn’t do this or that’, half the time these are the people who have a higher chance of accident or injury. What ‘advanced’ teaches you is to anticipate and plan, this is what you are doing very patiently and very well. I was taught by Police that you should scan your mirrors every 10-15 seconds. Makes perfect sense to me, as I’d always like to know and see what traffic is doing behind me, so I can react and adapt. I’m sure there are more appreciative people out there who don’t think to criticise and attack all the time. Thanks very much for the videos, from a very grateful and quiet silent majority. Matt

I'm running out of slip road. am i supposed to drop back in speed so basically putting me in a position or being up his rear end as i will then have to cross in to lane 2. or am i supposed to fill that 2 second gap between the lorry and car . i have heard of people failing there test because of this reason as they have slowed down. which then would put motorists behind you and your self at risk of being rear ended. hope this make sence best regards

i dont know why hes doing left shoulder check after going around the lorry. my understanding is that when taking up lane positions only a mirror check is needed since you arent moving out of the lane itself only within it. otherwise youd be shoulder checking every time you corner since you naturally use the width of the lane.

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Well a lorry would take up a lot of width. Do an experiment of where your blind spot is and you might be suprised and think differently.

[@nobbystyles4807]

@@RJHMotorbikeTraining what are you looking for though, if your going around a parked vehicle then you go back to your normal lane position theres no benefit in looking at the pavement or the parked vehicle. if you did the same manoeuvre in a car you wouldnt be expected to look in your left hand mirror. the likelihood of something attempting under take you in this situation is so remote i would suggest if thats from any formal guidance that its probably over due for a re write.

[@AveryCloseCall]

Having moved from the US and Canada, this is really helpful. I realise you're teaching to the UK MOD2 standard and not asking for any justification for why teach that. My question is this: Why does the test require shoulder checks when passing an obstacle or when setting off from a stop? Is it, like, in case there's a crouching cheetah that's going to overtake you on the inside and bite your leg? In those two cases (setting off, passing an obstacle) I'm scratching my head at what vehicle or other reasonable risk is avoided by shoulder checks in those circumstances IF you're watching your mirrors and observing ahead already?

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Indirect are mirrors and direct are lifesavers (shoulder checks) Ride in the City and miss those shoulder checks and that crouching cheetah will bite your leg

[@S01-k9z]

Nice video, I have my mod 1 and 2 in November, I'm really confused about these observations on roundabouts. So turning right on Roundabout my instructor says once I pass the exit before the one I'm exiting , indicate, then left shoulder check , then move over and exit, and then on exit further right shoulder check. I notice you dont do the further right shoulder final check , and either do a lot tbh , is it necessary? I feel it distracts me from looking at my exit, your taught to look where you are going , but 2 shoulder checks in a row is distracting , also going straight ahead at roundabout, my instructor says once you get to first exit exit do a left lifesaver , then another right lifesaver once you exit , yesterday this caused me to drift into next lane because I'm not looking where I'm going, but a lot of people dont seem to mention the 2 checks, is my instructor wrong, or did he add the right lifesaver on exit thinking its safer ? I read mcn magazine article and they say coming off a roundabout, perform left lifesaver for cyclists , so I'm hearing 3 different things, what's your opinion?

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

You got it ;-) Indicate left, look over your left shoulder then exit

[@Cartsp70]

RJH Motorbike Training Manchester And if I turn left , look over RIGHT shoulder just before I turn left? Ie “shoulder check “

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Paul Cartwright at the roundabout turn left? OSM PSL if you are in position 1 look right/left/right again and if clear look where you are going. There should be no need to do a left lifesaver.

[@Cartsp70]

RJH Motorbike Training Manchester great thanks 👍🏽👍🏽hopefully I’ll pass

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Paul Cartwright ride your own ride, enjoy it, get on with it, and be safe. It’s easy. Where are you doing it?

[@johnthompson5396]

Rob that was an excellent, informative tutorial covering a serious subject facing all Mod 2 candidates - me included - 2 days to go! Thank you and keep up the great work - I also do lifesavers when driving my car as well!!!

[@MrCaptcash]

rob... would you say lifesavers should be behind shoulder or is 90 degree ok? im finding i can throw the bike off balance by trying to look too far around.. also can hurt the neck lol

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

MrCaptcash A Lifesaver is checking the area (blind spot) that is not covered in your mirrors. A chin to shoulder movement should be sufficient when moving, as any more could make you wobble etc....and yes a stiff neck. Leave the stronger Lifesavers for when stationary such as moving off etc.....

[@paulbaldock4826]

Seriously when does checking your mirrors sooo much become dangerous

[@jamiepoole5193]

Its a joke mate. But the game we all have to play if we want are license🤣👍

Very helpful video! Thank you for sharing!

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Thanks for that

[@richardnicholson3912]

On either mod 1 or mod 2 would missing a life saver be a major fault resulting in fail or would it be only minor if it was just once?

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Yes it could be. Depends on the situation.

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Thanks Carl and I'm glad you like the videos. Are you riding?

[@carljohnson3802]

Well lol... 6 weeks ago i decided i wanted a bike, so 4 weeks ago i bought a kawasaki versys 650 2010 model, 4 days ago i did my cbt (do have grandad rights to ride but going for full licence so had to do it) then yesterday i took my theory... on the 11th aug (closest date) i take my mod1 and on the 20th mod2. so to answer your question am i riding ermm no not yet hehe, bike is sat in bike shop paid for but not taking it until i passed my test... just watching videos for tips but it all seems simple tbh. been driving since 1992 and i have drove for a living for decades so road saftey to me is a natural thing. Keep up the good work with the videos ;-)

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

The Versys is a nice bike, you will love it. Good luck with the training and any advise we can give you just ask. Keep us posted as to how you get on.

[@S01-k9z]

This isnt the way I'm being taught,,when you turn left I was told to do a left shoulder observation as you move into position , and coming off a roundabout I was told to do a right shoulder observation before you take you exit

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Key is be flexible. Talk to your instructors. I would say a lifesaver to change position to turn would be unnecessary but them would depend on the distance your position would be. Never say never. Right shoulder on exit on a roundabout? The only time I could think this would be necessary is straight on in the left lane. But speak with your instructors and discuss options ok

[@S01-k9z]

@@RJHMotorbikeTraining I agree with u, I dont think my instructor is any good , going straight on at rounabout expects a left lifesaver once u pass first exit ,,then a right one over the shoulder when leaving, if it's a small roundabout which it was on our lesson it means I'm not looming where I'm going

[@DEATHxRYDER]

found this very handy

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Thanks glad you like the vids.

[@ultranuman]

At the end you were undertaking on a wide single lane road, so that is ok? Just asking as obviously safe on the left than go wide into the path of oncoming traffic.

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

yes perfectly safe

[@jamiepoole5193]

Conflicting information from different instructors. When changing position within your lane, you dont do a lifesaver, only when changing lanes? Ive also watched others do lifesavers when moving from command position within the same lane? Confused lol

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Be flexible. No right or wrong. Every situation will be different. Use your common sense.

[@jamiepoole5193]

@@RJHMotorbikeTraining So you dont have to do a lifesaver when changing position in the same lane? Personally dont think its ever really needed unless its a really wide lane. Then it has some merit, as your moving more than just a few feet

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Christine Copus If it’s safe and legal why not.

[@Cartsp70]

Also they gave me a different instructor who reckons if you’re on a road with parked cars on your left . Cars coming towards you have priority? Mmmm NOT according to the Highway Code they don’t , he made my test 10 times worse

[@trapdoor3168]

man that's a lot of mirror checks🤔

[@steveharley6023]

shouldn't your indicate before changing lanes ?

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

+Steve Harley You should signal after Observing. So the answer would be yes if someone would benefit from the indicator or no if not.

[@Cartsp70]

15-34 you undertake on the left is that allowed on my test ? It’s tomorrow 😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Im sure if you met traffic like this on your test and your Examiner was on a bike he would follow you ;-) I wouldn't call this undertaking. What I would do is sit in the traffic and let him tell you to use the left lane. Good luck anyway and let us know how you go on.

[@Cartsp70]

Maybe do an advanced course with yourselves in Scotland, keep up the great work Regards Paul

[@steveharley6023]

7:23 no right hand lifesaver after turning left off roundabout ?

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

+Steve Harley Not necessary, it was clear which is why i went, far better then to be looking where i'm going.

[@MrCaptcash]

good video but would query last few mins.... filtering down left of cars. surely a fail on mod 2 and dangerous imo

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

MrCaptcash Fair comment. Why would you question filtering as you put it? If you knew the road you would have a better understanding of the undertaking of slower moving traffic here.I was ndertaking there is two lanes, narrow in places albeit but two lanes, and the majority of cars as you can see are straddling the lanes. I would put it down to making good progress there, and certainly was safe and not dangerous, as my speed was enabling me to stop in the distance i could see in and if any hazard was to of presented itself. Now the demo itself was to discuss Rear Observations, and i think it does quiet well. Would i have failed my Mod 2 test, well thats another story and this demo wasn't intended to show a Test Ride. Thanks anyway and im glad you like the video :-)

[@MK-wt2sp]

Easy

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

ye

[@6Twisted]

Too much. You'll drive into the back of someone looking behind you constantly. I feel like I'm a safe rider, I always check my blind spots before changing direction, before lane mergers or when I feel there's enough room for someone to try an overtake ect but I'm sure I'd fail my test only doing those checks.

[@eArtrash]

It is too much, but in a mod 2 test - failure to miss any of these observations can result in minor faults which can build up into fails.

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Its not too much at all.

[@boristheblade209]

On average how many lessons do the people that can already ride a geared bike need?

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Boris theBlade Hi fella, depends on a few things really. As you probably know you need to complete CBT, Theory, Mod 1 and Mod 2. Have you completed your CBT? If not then thats one day. Have you ridden BIG bikes? If not thats another day at least to convert you. As you can see the days can mount up so it depends on your ability. Our most popular training course is our 5 day course. Visit www.rjhgroup.co.uk all details are on there. Or give Lisa a call on 07761 756576 and she could discuss the best course for you.

[@boristheblade209]

Thanks for the reply I think a 5 day course would be too much for me, i just checked your site and a 3 day looks better suited to me. Youre pricing seems fair and ive liked what ive seen in the vids so il consider it, just manchester is a bit of a travel for me. Thanks again

[@RJHMotorbikeTraining]

Boris theBlade That's great. 3 day is suited if you have ridden BIG bikes, have a CBT and are a car driver. Worth the journey if you can, you will be well looked after :-) I'm glad you like our videos, only just started them. More to come.

[@boristheblade209]

RJH Motorbike Training Manchester Yeah i have a CBT & car driver for 4 years, did motocross when i was younger, rode a moped for 2 years, the only thing is i havent ridden big bikes. I have rode 35-40hp road legal 2 stroke MX bikes on private land and the power isnt something im uncomfortable with so i guess its just the weight and maneuvers il need to adjust to. Thanks for your help and il definitely keep you in mind for my training.
