• Towards the centre of the road to prevent any following traffic from overtaking

When following a large slow or queuing lorry or van on a motorcycle it is important to keep well back rather than move up to save space. Why?

• Keeping back allows other vehicles enough room to overtake you or join from side roads.
• A lorry has better brakes than a motorcycle, so you will need extra stopping space.
• Keeping back gives you a better view of the road ahead and enables the driver to see you.
• Keeping back will give you more room to accelerate so that you can overtake more easily.

When approaching horses from behind what should you do in order to safely overtake?

• Sound your horn to alert the rider to your presence and wait for them to signal you to overtake.  They are higher up than you and will have a better view of the road ahead.
• Pass the horse as quickly and safely as possible to minimise the amount of time you are exposed to danger.
• Keep well back, until you have a large enough gap to pass the rider safely and as slowly as possible.  Watch for signals from the rider, but do not blindly accept an invitation.  While passing keep as far away from the horse as possible and select a gear that enables you make progress with minimal noise.  In day light consider switching your lights off for the overtake.
• Follow the rider at a safe distance and await their signal for you to pass.  Pass briskly as far away from the horse as possible to minimise time exposed to danger.
• Pull over and advise the rider that this is a busy road and they should use a horse box to transport their animal, without inconveniencing other road users.

When following traffic into a tight bend, it is particularly important to continue to maintain a safe following distance.  Which of the following is NOT a valid reason why?

• Drivers often brake mid corner when they feel they have entered too quickly.  Motorcyclists tend to enter slowly and maintain a constant speed through the bend.  Braking mid way on a motorcycle affects the stability, so allowing more space will enable you to be smoother with the controls.
• Vehicles behind you will have a tendency to bunch up as the traffic slows down to take the bend.  You will need to compensate for the lack of space and react more smoothly to oncoming hazards, to avoid being hit.
• Motorcyclist are less able to see ahead in bends than car drivers and have inferior brakes
• Keeping back will allow you better view of the road surface and give you time to avoid pot holes or drain covers which may affect your stability.

When would it NOT be a good idea to do a life-saver or shoulder check before?

• Pulling away from the side of a road when there no traffic visible in your mirrors

• Overtaking another vehicle
