I had a British motorcycle instructor who divided the lane into 5, all the Kiwi instructors I have been riding with only divide it into 3. When I mentioned this they suggested that 5 was too complicated for trainees. If dividing the lane is too complex perhaps their students shouldn't be riding. This method gives more options and a clear indication of where the instructor wants the pupil to be.
Nice demonstration of principle of positioning, but positioning should be for safety then view. Not sure where he was when oncoming traffic was the safest position especially for very little benefit on view.
Thanks for the feedback. The rider was only with me for a day and this was in the morning, so relatively new to Advanced Riding. As with video footage angles do perhaps give a false view, especially where I am positioned with the camera bike, Your feedback is appreciated and she later continued to develop her riding as she joined us on one of our Normandy tours.

Serendipity, I was planning to venture out for the first time this year, tomorrow, and this has nicely focused the mind. Impressive intro 😂
Go for it!
Recognised Two Flags Cafe on the A47 towards Peterborough. :)
