There and back again, via lunch - a learner's tale

[Kingy]

This will make you a much better car driver. If everyone did a motorbike CBT as part of a car test there would be far less accidents. You can only appreciate how much more observant it makes you (on a motorbike where you are exposed to the conditions and poor and/or inconsiderate car drivers) compared with learning to drive in the safety of a car.

I know it couldn't work as it would be impossible to arrange, but I firmly believe that it would make a difference.

You can tell car drivers who ride push bikes or motorbikes when you are riding on the road because they are the ones who leave you good space when passing and are patient if there is traffic and they want to pass you.
Those who have only ever driven a car are the ones who nearly take you out in their rush to pass or get through a gap and aren't prepared to wait.
