Police Officer Shows You How To Ride A Bike SAFELY - Part 2: Open Road Riding
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- The second part of the Bikesafe course series covering riding out on the open road as I give a full commentary, explaining road positions, observations, filtering tactics and more. Devitt Insurance asked if I'd like to do a Bikesafe course with the Met police, and being a police trained biker and driver I thought it would not only be a good refresher for me, but also an opportunity to explain why 'we' do what we do when riding to the police motorcycle training system of Roadcraft.
In part 1 we started at the Bikeshed in central London and rode out of town through heavy traffic, so make sure you check that episode out here • Ex-Police Rider Explai...

Your forward planning is on the money Bruce. I've driven HGV's as well as cars & motorbikes. I can't emphasise how important it is to look as far ahead as possible whilst highlighting hazards to yourself. Top content Bruce 👌
The Smith Driving System ... Rule no. 1 for forward planning ... but all 5 rules are spot on.
I did my std and adv car and bike courses in the job starting in 1985, followed by TPAC, security escort etc. was full time on bikes for several years and after retiring did training and assessments for recruiting riders for Blood bikes. However, I have not had a bike for about 5 years due to focussing on Motorhome touring but I am now looking to return to biking. Despite all my trying and experience I accept my skills will have diminished, so I am starting by watching TH-cam videos and found your part 1 and 2 on bike safe a great refresher. It reminded me of the satisfaction of doing all that commentary both in my head or out loud inside my helmet and even debriefing myself on where I went wrong. (We all cock up). I will be doing a bike safe myself when I pick up a new bike, we are never too old to learn
As a new rider I can't tell you how beneficial content like this is, absolutely superb Bruce. Did the raiseyourride version of this with Avon and Somerset the other week and it was an excellent day out and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Nice one Paul 👍
I’ve been driving since 1997 and riding since 2018. I thought I knew what I was doing on the roads till I watched this video. I’m already a slow careful rider, but this has shown me what I’m missing! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
So good this could seriously be a training video. Why, because you bring it to life with explanations, humour and your wealth of experience. Most training can be very dry but this is not
Thanks bud 👍
Sorry.. totally disagree.. Bad example for a training video .. what training video would show someone overtaking vehicles on an a 'A' road in excess of 70 mph on several occasions and exceeding other speed limits throughout the video. ... a traing course would tell you to be observant at all times and if you observed his speedo at all, you would realise that's it's certainly not suitable as a training video
@@teapotone bro , I’m in Scotland do you have any numbers mate for a course up here or anyone in chat ,going bck on road after leg break ,long story but it’s been three year ,want that confidence bck , cheers
@@Malcolmmtts bro from what I mind that’s why bikes have that power to get past a pest ,A road bit iffy but it was cool with the plod guy .it also says riding on an open road .
No sorry bud I don’t have any connections up there - drop Rapid training a line as they have people all around the country.
I know their courses are expensive, but they may be able to put you in touch with someone suitable 👍
I'm going for my bike training soon. I have learned so much from watching this video. I have been driving a car for 42 years with no accidents (touch wood ). I seem to see things before they happen. I hope I'm the same on a bike my wife goes on at me because I always know what's happening behind I just love it when she shouts why are you pulling over then a police car etc shoots past with blues on but no siron,I just smile and say and that's why you should know what's happening behind you. Thanks for the video.
8:51
I’ve always thought that the bottom sign meant “fun section up ahead”.
Top notch video, refresher for those of us that have been biking for decades and all that we do instinctively that younger, less experienced riders might not know. Having been a Chief Instructor for Canada Safety Councils motorcycle courses, lane positioning, always having an "exit strategy" and defensive riding can never be over streesed. Thanks for the excellent job
Been riding for 5 years and picked up so many bad habits. Back to training, appreciated the video.
I loved the bikesafe course. even the "theory" lesson at the start. The one issue I had, was I was only told what I wasn't do right (which is great), but it didn't necessarily tell me how to fix it.
I actually did not know about the top to bottom on road signs. You learn something every day, thanks 👍
This has been a great series Bruce one of the best examples of advanced riding especially the commentary. I am a member of the IAM, ride a blood bike and so do lots of miles in all weather and must redo training and a test not always IAM but with a recognised organisation every three years. What always surprises me with some bikers is that “if I’m able to ride really fast I’m a good rider” been there myself in my younger days but 40+ years of biking on see it differently now.
Thanks bud, glad you’ve enjoyed them.
Yes absolutely, I totally agree. It used to be all about speed for me, and the faster I went and faster I cornered, the better rider I felt I was.
Now I see some riders on the road and cringe as I know they’re surviving mostly by luck, and eventually that’ll run out.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some incredibly talented riders out there who are comfortable at way higher speeds for situations than I am, but I’m definitely much more reserved in my usage of speed than I used to be, and I’d like to think my vision ahead and risk assessments are higher than average now.
Accidents still happen though and you can never think you know it all.
I’ve recently done a day with ‘Rapid Training’ and I learned loads regarding my vision, positioning, and more.
Every day is a school day 👍😉
Personal choice, I don’t want to personally
Nope, never been an issue for me personally. My headlights and road positioning are a much larger factor in being noticed by other road users.
Personally I only notice high-viz clothing after I’ve already spotted a bike due to their lights. I tend not to sit with traffic on the nationals and would rather get passed and away from potential hazards.
But it’s a personal thing, I do t think anyone should be forced to wear anything in particular on a bike - helmet is a bare minimum and that’s fine by me.
Massive difference between the area of a car and the tiny surface area of a rider, a specially at speed and sat behind your bikes headlight
As I said at the start Terry, if you want to wear hi-viz, go right ahead, but it’s not for me👍
The look on Lamb Chops face when he thought you were being bollocked, priceless!! Big thing I take from both of your videos and Lamb Chops is being aware overtaking when there are options on the right in particular. Great stuff thanx.
Cheers Simon, aye riding this way you really do start to notice so much more whilst you’re riding - it does slow you down in many situations, but it also allows you to go quicker in others, and be smoother overall 👍
I am lucky enough to be in the middle of an IAM course. Your videos are a great demonstration of what can be expected on such a course, with your unique style of commentary! All training is valuable, with the accent on the Safety Bubble. Staying Safe and Having Fun! Cheers.
Brilliant vid Bruce, I see too many bikers who don't use proper positioning and put themselves at a risk, not giving other road users a chance to see them. Life is too short, don't be in a hurry to end it. Being an ambulance tech and and a fellow biker, I just wonder when I will be picking that rider up off the road at times. Be safe!!
Brilliant video with lots of food for thought for me. I have done a bike safe and went on to do my IAM advanced so thought I couldn't do another bike safe! Come the summer I will put in for another one with the MET
Loved the commentary of your ride. Thanks again.
Thanks bud, glad you’ve got some good from the vids 👍
Your commentary shows how much you there is to be aware of when you’re out riding .
One of the best commentaries I have heard/seen. I like to watch these to avoid complacency, as a returning rider who only got back onto motorbikes in 2019. Really clear, well explained (your thinking), so thanks. Great job.
Cheers Kevin 👏👍
Well done Bruce. You showed that the system of motorcycle control, is very much still within you and used in your riding to the effect it does give to riding. From your own history and training and old profession of; Police rider/driver, it is still serving you in your riding in your "profession" as a motorcycle vlogger, of which I think is at a high standard and sets example to others to follow, that if they were to also commit to some good training, with a professional rider trainer, they to could change their own ride so much for the better and safer. Watching you here shows, that it isn't boring, "old pipe and slippers brigade riding" as was so often thought in the past, but that it is the way to take one's own riding. You have just shown that and expressed it so well to your "subscribers", which I am one, it is so worth it to do these training/assessment opportunities. Well done mate and I hope many more see it and take it up themselves, leaving their egos at home. You've reached a lot of people who watch and listen to your advice on your channel, about bikes and riding and the fun to be had, but safely, as much as we did if not more! on the old Essex Police BikeSafe and currently on the Essex FireBike Better Biking course. Bless ya matey, enjoy once again well done on a great video Bruce.
This was really good. I'm a fairly new rider and my friend and former instructor is ex Kent Police traffic. He's taught me to ride just like this. Good work 👏!
The old adage, slow in fast out, fast in sh*t out. Great commentary.
Beautifully done Bruce. Good revision from my own Bike Safe course recently. I’ve seen so many mates put themselves under self induced pressure to put the overtake on to keep up with their pals. Better to try and resist the temptation if it’s not safe. Rather be cautious and a minute late than anything worse 👍🏻
As a new rider these two videos have been a real eye opener! When I get my full licence I'll be looking to do a BikeSafe course for sure! Cheers Bruce keep up the excellent videos!
Bike Safe's nowt. It's just one day. Best to see it as a taster of what observed rides would be like as an associate (/pupil) with either IAM or ROSPA, and do an advanced course to test standard. You can't absorb much roadcraft or get your head around IPSGA in a day. Best you can say for Bike Safe is it's better than nowt - but only just.
@unfunny - Not at all. Some people don’t want to do IAM/RoSPA, I wouldn’t personally as it’s just not my style of riding. I don’t want so many restrictions and would rather just ride my own ride whilst utilising roadcraft as I see fit.
Bikesafe gives people a wee taster of the main points, and that alone will go along way to making peoples ride safer for sure.
But if IAM/RoSPA is your thing, then go for it 👍
@@teapotone "a long way" - right okay. It didn't do that for me, but whatever.
Great video
Highly recommend every rider to do this course. Everyone should gain something.
This is brilliant, exactly what I was taught and it still makes my head hurt when I do it. You've got a future as an instructor!!
Ha Ha, God help other road users!!!!
Cheers Steve 👍
I enjoyed those two videos. I gave my RT back 7 years ago but I enjoyed it while it lasted, and the ride out with the police was enlightening to say the least. Keep up the good work 🌞
Hiya Bruce 1st ever comment on yr channel FWIW I was brought up on runnning commentary (which is very hard and mentally draining) by the old man who was ex old bill now riding bikes since the two stroke bliss of the 1970s I signed up for my 1st ever IAM course and cant wait!! So I have an HGV class 1 since 1985 and untold mileage under my belt but one thing for sure is you can never get enough training!!! Smooth =speed , forward vision =speed really enjoy the channel .
Thanks very much Remus and cheers for commenting bud 👍
100% agree re. riding/driving with commentary - it is exhausting, especially to start with. Maintaining the required level of concentration definitely takes it out of you.
These full comentary videos are very educational and gives us an insight into the thoughts and workings of a very experienced rider. Thank you.
Cheers Lee 👍
Having learnt to ride I still tend to use motor compression to slow down. It is a good reminder to use the brakes to communicate slowing down or stopping. Thanks for this as, even though I live in Aussie, it is equally applicable to our situation.
Excellent Bruce, just as Part 1 was excellent too. Almost feel like I've done the course now, your running commentary was brilliant. Thanks
Good part 2 and you and Lamb Chops on you best behavier.
Choir boys 😇 🤣👍
learned from this, riding for 10 months, knew nothing of positions 1, 2, 3.
Thanks for this Bruce. You called that overtake spot on. I'm not ashamed to admit it but I may have picked up one or two bad riding habits at almost 70. But honestly it's been along time since I was shouted at by a driver as I just enjoying cruising these days. I will endeavour to check my road positioning more. Thanks again and wishing you and your mates enjoyable safe riding.
Thanks very much Les, same to you and yours bud 👍
I really enjoyed your Bikesafe videos, thank you. I’m also a retired Job biker and now I volunteer as a Bikesafe Assessor.
Good ride and commentary 👍🏼
Cheers Chris 👍
Superb video Bruce. I did a similar course through Honda about 25 years ago, two days 1:1 with an ex Hendon instructor. The observation and positioning I learned there has stuck with me ever since. Not only did it make me a safer rider, I became more relaxed and confident and started enjoying riding so much more. Watching your video made me realise I could do with sharpening up my riding, so thanks for that. Excellent video, well worth rewatching every year.
Lovely commentary. I've done MAC and IAM - but watching someone else apply the method is really positive and affirming. It also helps me pick up my "new" bad habits.
Superb video. As a former rider in the early eighties who is getting back in to riding bikes, I find these videos to be really useful.
Well done - IPSGA shown and described in ‘live’ conditions; invaluable!
Bikesafe is a great resource. Thank you for highlighting it so positively
Very sensible riding. Thanks for the live comment during the ride. Lessons learned.
Love this style of video, detailing what you're doing and observing definitely challenges me to improve and apply these skills. Looking forward to doing these courses and your next video
You're never too old to learn. I picked up quite a few tips watching you. The commentary was excellent and informative. Could be a new aspect to your channel fella. You have a gift for getting the info across mate. A lot of experience to pass on. Motorway riding could be a good first topic.
Thanks Gareth 👍
Awesome video. Was great listening to your commentary.
It's watching you, and listening to the commentary, that you realise, how much you 'don't' see.....
it was like a mini refresher, watching these, and Chopsies.
Well done both, great video Bruce, great course too.
Grumps.
Thanks Grumps, appreciate that 👍
Automatic Traffic Signal?…. Aside from the travel videos these are some of my favourites of yours. Nice work all round.
Bruce, absolutely love the running commentary, please keep the vids coming, breath of fresh air, no blowing of smoke up any orifice! But you’ve nailed it.
Thanks Dave 👍
Enjoyed the both videos. Reminded me of the day I did my course. We had more riding around East London before lunch. Then went on the same Ride as yourself. Also I had to go with the higher powered bikes. Due to my scooter being a 600cc. Which due to the auto gear box wasn't so fast on the acceleration.
I looked into advanced riding courses a few years ago but didnt do anything about it although I did do a bike safe day with the Gloucestershire police and that too gave a good insight to advanced riding. Watching these videos has made me think that I need go get my butt in gear and actually do the ROSPA or IAM training, your commentary and road position was spot on and very helpful
This could be a series; so informative and useful. It’s helpful k recognise the roads as well but this is really clear and even though I’ve been riding over 15 years I’ve learnt plenty. Thanks Bruce
My pleasure Chris, glad it was of some use to you 👍
Fantastic watch (both parts) Really enjoyed your thought processing and commentary through the ride. Did a Bikesafe myself probably about 10 years ago now with Essex Police. I cannot rate these highly enough, got really useful feedback through the day, improved both my speed (down as well as up) and my observation.
Excellent display of what one has to do in making decisions about road conditions and planning one's position on the road. Thanks again. I'm off to practice.
The best biking video I've seen so far. Just passed the bike test last July and your commentary is a great mental refresher, especially regarding positions 1,2 &3.
Fantastic commentary on your observations Bruce,been on riding since 16 (52 now) great to watch this and learn will definitely apply on next ride,never to old to learn/ refresh your skills.
Thanks Barry
enjoyed that Brucey! 👌
Cheers Chops! 👍
just listening to the commentary that you gave has helped, Ive been riding for 40 years and you still learn stuff I will give the positioning ago for sure. I must admit I would have overtaken a lot earlier but also give it a little more power LOL
That white truck at 17:20 startled me and I'm just sitting in front of a computer.
Really enjoyed your videos on bike safe it’s nice to know what gear your in and speed , I have watched a lot of American videos but they don’t relate to speed . I done a course with a ex police biker not long after I passed my test some years ago and he taught me a lot . I was late coming into the motorbike scene so I’m never going to be your leg down merchant. I just love touring and social aspect of been a biker . Road position is key and I’m always trying to improve your tutorial is great .
Regards Danny
Thank you for posting this as a new rider who rides this route everyday in the summer this has really helped with my positioning
Thank you Bruce
No bother Matthew, glad it was of some help 👍
Brill vid the transit on the left when you took the lead scared the shit out of me 🤘
Great video. I did bike safe many years ago when it was first happening and have booked another on this september as back on bikes after a 10 year gap. This was a really good pair of videos to remind me and give me confidence that i do (sort of) know what I am doing!!!
These are vids that I shall be re-watching.. Thanks for posting!
informative to watch for someone with an upcoming CBT, with the intention of obtaining a full licence.
Very strange watching you ride roads I know so well. You pass my friends home!! Brilliant video Bruce 📹 quality entertainment and I learned stuff too! 👌
On the waiting list for the ones up Durham area after the first video dude, then looking at IAM. Cracking video dude!
Awesome stuff Alex, enjoy your day out when it comes 👍
Bruce, this is, by far, the best overview of Bikesafe I have seen, at 71 I admit to being resistant to advanced training but your description has rekindled my interest and I will be, ‘having a go at it’ this year! Thanks very much🏍🏍👍👍
Cheers Henry, that’s awesome to hear bud.
Hope you enjoy the day when you do one 👍
@@teapotone I signed up to the IAM Roadsmart abut 4 years ago in my late 60's at the time. Have learnt a lot and am still learning. Advance training is definitley worthwhile.
Great road from Bran End to Duck end and on to Great Burstead, one of my favourites in Essex.
I enjoyed that reminder and the best thing I ever did was the bike safe day down here in Cornwall. I can't recommend it highly enough and it was fun.
Excellent, I did this course last year, over Snake Pass and around Peak district. It's a great course. 👍
It shows what can be achieved when the police do something useful instead of there usual fixation with speeding 👍
Really Excellent Riding Bruce, your vision and control were at another level
Thanks very much Karl 👍
I’ve taken so much on board watching these 2 vids. Also went on the waiting list with my local bikesafe. Thank you.
New mature rider here. Taking my time on a 125 rather than jumping through the DAS and starting on a less forgiving format. (kudos to those who do, I judge not ;-) ) . Learned a lot from your commentary. This vid (and part 1) explain a lot of what I see other smart (ddfm ?) riders do and gives me a youtube rider I'm grateful to listen to and learn from. Thank you.
Did my Bikesafe yesterday and this was excellent reinforcement of what I'd practiced on my ride. Great stuff thanks 👍
I'll be taking a lot of tips from this video and putting it into practice.... cheers Bruce.. 👍👍
Enjoyable to watch and listen.
A excellent insight to the thinking rider.
Great commentary! Extremely descriptive and useful. Thank you!
I am not a biker rider but l have done the motoring advanced course in the 80's ina van . It was good to see it from a bikers vision and commentary. An added bonus was the dulcet tones of a fellow Scotsman. I used to drive an impact lorry in road traffic management in London, it was interesting to see the reactions of motorists and bikers when l lowered the impact cushion, they would do anything to get past me.
Great video, can’t wait to up my game to this level…..sunrise is around 5:00 tomorrow 😜. Also, for all the stick Essex gets, we do have some great roads and picture perfect villages.
Spot on! Really useful Bruce, thanks.
I did a Bikesafe course (Dorset) and they use 1 to 5 rather than 1 to 3 for road positioning. 1 and 5 are right on the edge, 2 and 4 left or right of centre and 3 in the middle. That to me made sense.
Lovely ride, I'll be carrying on learning then! Good course, Bikesafe. One takeaway from my course relating to paint on the roads you mentioned was "white means shite". Thanks so much for the vid and your commentary was right on the mark.
Wow……I’ll be re watching both parts….I have learnt so much….thank you for sharing, being both honest and clear during the rides, big shout out to the police as well…..I live in Jersey, very very busy narrow roads….I’ll be looking out at every option tomorrow….and road positioning, our police here even give us riders a polite nod of acknowledgment as they pass by…..excellent video and very helpful.
Like your style of riding and you do as I do notice all those tell tale signs such as the bins out, child's scooter and such and doing those little things like thanking vehicles you have just filtered by and riding in a staggered formation. I had been riding for 40 years before doing extra training with the IAM Roadsmart group, if nothing else you get the feedback on your riding from many other riders, including ex Police and forces riders. A great video Sir, ride safe.
I know I'm 10+ months late to these couple of videos but the clear, 'Scottish-ness' (as my kid says lol) of explaining road riding proficiency is fantastic mate. I passed my CBT in 2018 and then in 2019 passed my DA1 on the second try, I just wish these videos were uploaded when I was doing my first test because the information and the confidence I had at the time I thought it would of been enough to pass but a got it done in the end. Sadly in 2021 I had a semi-serious accident were a woman pulled out of a junction not looking where she was going almost wrote me off then and there if it wasn't for my leathers and helmet, what's even worse my bike was stolen a day after the accident I was devastated. Anyway, thank you for providing these videos, the information is invaluable in riding safely whilst having fun in doing so, all the best mate.
Ah mate I’m sorry to hear of all the ‘issues’ you’ve had, hope all is good now 👍
Absolutely helpful! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and decisions you have to make when riding. It really is a conscious process and that's very helpful when it comes to safety.
My pleasure Jason, glad it’s of some use to you 👍
Clear to see you still have all the skills and knowledge from your days in the job. Great video thanks.
Enjoyed that Thank You. RoadCraft is a good read, but watching that makes even more sense.
Hope you’ll do some more of these if & when possible Fella 😊
Thanks Bruce - a great video and a useful reminder. Bikesafe is a great course and from my experience the guys who run them are universally excellent - worth refreshing once in a while.
Great video. I really find your thought process to be valuable - explaining why you do something as you do it. I have been riding 50 plus years and your video is still valuable. Thanks.
Brilliant vid. I’ve learnt so much from your commentary and information. I only wish I had it and applied it 12 years ago before I had a bike crash and lost my left leg. I’m planning on getting another bike soon or rather a scooter to commute to work on and will defo do one of these courses.
Great pair of videos, thank you. Having a lengthy full commentary across a large variety of scenes was great.
I can also vouch for bikesafe being an excellent (and excellent value) course.
Im going for my mod 2 test in 4 days, I have been watching TH-cam videos as well a having proper training, I will take positioning and pointing out all the possible hazards, junctions etc but not use the some advanced skills you have shown there until after I pass my test, I have been driving last 20 years and I class myself a safe driver, having owning and driving fast ish cars, I always look far ahead and anticipate hazards before they even happen, hopefully this will help me pass my test and one day I will be able to ride as safe and as good as you.
A great couple of videos, i rode with a police instructor every other month for 3 years approx 14/15 years ago, I took a break from riding due to family commitments and return to it 18 months ago, due to being rusty, I seeked help form the Rapid Training guys and everything slotted back into place, I can't emphasize the importance of this type of training is, i agreed with you "slowed you down" statement however it made my progress between A -B much quicker. looking forward to seeing your video with the Rapid guys.
Very good video to teach road strategy skills.
And this is why i like the electronics and the quickshifter on my XR. In everyday year round commuting, i frees up "mindspace" from riding technique to be used for road strategy.
Awesome video, you have pointed out so many hazards, that I would have missed
Great video Bruce, loved the commentary while riding, did the IAM course a few years ago, trained as an Observer, just passed my Masters, a great group of people, not at all like the preconceived idea of the IAM, just bikers like everyone else, and as you know the system works at any speed🤣🤣
Love that - firm-up that drive :) classic, I love it!
Excellent demonstration of Advanced Riding. I have forwarded on to my local RoSPA as a recommended watch. 👍
Cheers Andrew, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Cracking stuff gents. Interesting to see what we should all be doing all the time, but seldom do.
What a brilliant insight to bike-safe. Bruce your comments as you were riding were amazing. Amazing skills.
I think I’ll be enrolling in bike-safe when my new bike eventually arrives. (Not arriving until September 😢). I’ve only been away from biking just over a year but I think I need this sort of course to get my confidence back. 👍
Cheers Jim, glad you enjoyed it bud, and enjoy the new bike when it comes 👍👏
This is great &full of useful information,when I get my bike back on the road I'm going book a roadcraft course, well done 👏
Top stuff Bruce, you’re on my favourite local roads 👍🏼😉
(Great commentary!).
Thanks mate👍
