Element 'E' On Road Riding

Now the serious bit starts,
Element 'E' starts with you being introduced to your on road instructor, He will have been given a run down of how you have performed in all previous elements, this will enable the new instructor to work on any weeknesses you may have.
You will then be given a radio and an ear piece, and some rules will be explained about radio contact while you are on the road

Radio's are one way only, you cannot talk to your instructor (He he he)

Pete explaining the radio rules

The lads on thier way out You will then leave the car park onto the road, the route will be decided by your instructor
Your instructor may put two trainees in front and follow, or one in front and one behind
The main thing here is to relax and remember your car park training.

Listen carfully to your instructor


During the course of your on road section you will have to demonstrate that you can handle the
motorcycle / moped in a safe manor, keeping yourself and other road users safe at all times.

Be aware of your suroundingd,
While out on the road just make sure you take note of what is happening in front of you, keep your
eyes moving around, look beyond the car in front so you already know what they are going to do.
This is the forward planning bit, the more you notice the easier it becomes. But most of all enjoy yourself :)
