*** VIDEO NASTY *** Misunderstanding what the other is doing Back when I was a DAS trainer, one of the riskier manoeuvres that occasionally cropped up on the bike test was to make a right turn onto a dual carriageway with a 70 mph limit. Here's a short video clip of a similar turn, showing just how easily it can go wrong. I'd hazard a guess that motorcyclists watching this will blame the truck driver for hitting the bike, with car drivers saying that the rider shouldn't have pulled out when they did. My guess is that the collision is actually down to misunderstandings on both sides. The rider, aiming at the nearside lane, was likely expecting the driver to continue in the offside lane. The driver presumably expected the bike to wait in the central reservation a little longer and actually believed that moving to the nearside was necessary...

*** 60 Second Safety *** Why the Highway Code gets braking distances wrong As new riders and drivers we all learn the Highway Code’s stopping-distance chart. The numbers are drilled into us as if they were a law of physics. Let's take two of the figures. At the lower urban limit of 20 mph, the UK's 'road code' book tells us that we should be able to stop in 12 metres. And at 70 mph, the speed limit on a dual carriageway, that stopping distance in the chart is 96 metres. Many riders and drivers assume those figures are out of date and that modern vehicles whether four or two wheeled, can easily beat them. In fact, the opposite is true. Those braking distances simply don’t hold up in real life. Why? First, the Code talks about 'thinking distance', but assumes a reaction time of just two-thirds of a second...
