[quote][i]Originally posted by Mike[/i] Cycling proficiency, from what I remember, was a group of probably 20 kids, riding around some 'junctions' in a playground totalling about 3 hours, including the briefest mention of the highway code and traffic signs, and all at the age of about 8 when you have virtually no sense of self-preservation anyway. Funnily enough, the CBT concept in motorbikes is similarly ridiculous. 4 hours, half in a private yard, much like the cycling proficiency, then 2 hours on the road where you seemingly had to keep the bike upright and do the bare minimum in terms of checking behind you, whilst not exceeding the 35 mph limiter too often and bang, perfectly safe to ride a geared 125 despite being fairly wobbly on a rev and rip 50. Want to drive a car though, that, on average, takes 45 hours of one-to-one lessons, almost all of which is spent driving on roads or public car parks. Plus a theory test including 50 questions (although only 35 when I passed) about the highway code and a series of hazard perception videos to show you more of the problems that you're likely to encounter on the roads. Cyclists share the same roads (motorways excluded), with the same vehicles, yet they can do it with pretty much zero knowledge of how roads work. How could that possibly be safe? [/quote]
