Motorcycle Roadcraft - the Police Riders Handbook e-bog

Motorcycle Roadcraft is the handbook for police and other emergency services riders undertaking rider training. In rider training, Motorcycle Roadcraft is combined with practical instruction. This edition is designed so that it can be used for self-study either before or during a course, and for ready reference afterwards. The aim of Motorcycle Roadcraft is to improve your riding ability. Your safety and that of other road users depends on your awareness of what's happening around you and your ability to control the position and speed of your machine relative to everything else on the road. A collision or even a near miss can be the result of a lapse in riding skill. Motorcycle Roadcraft aims to help you become a better rider by increasing your awareness of all the factors that affect your riding - your own capabilities, the characteristics of your machine, and the road and traffic conditions, including the actions of other road users that can put you at risk. The system of motorcycle control explained in Motorcycle Roadcraft is a methodical approach to hazards which increases your safety by giving you more time to react in complex situations.
