Regardless of the test route, traffic scenarios and junctions encountered, motorcycle road safety and motorcycle control is underpinned by a ‘set’ of specific module two motorcycle skills. Most of these ‘generic’ skills are progressive in their nature and tend to improve over time in direct proportion to a novice riders experience and ongoing investment in professional motorcycle training.
