So a new era is upon us, anyone applying now for their licence will have to do a MINIMUM of 16 hours training before recieving it. I suppose its not such a bad thing, but I reckon alot of people out there may not be able to afford such things at the moment. Will this 16 hour training course be run by gov or by private Rider Training companies?

Already set up a topic about this elsewhere, but is anybody looking to do the IBT course in Cork? I'm looking for someone to do the course with so I can share the cost with them, we could save a good few bob that way. Drop me a shout if anyone is looking to do it in Cork, or if ye know anyway. Cheers!

Just been looking on the RSA website, and not sure what to make of this:

Quote

Can I change to a different IBT instructor?

Yes. You can move from one IBT instructor to another. However, you can only get credit for modules that were completed with your previous instructor. At the end of each module, your instructor will certify that you have successfully completed the module by recording the details in the relevant section of your logbook. Bring your logbook to every training session so it can be up-dated.

Does this mean that if you change instructors, that you will have to start again, or that if you've completed say Module 1 and 2 with one instructor, that you can do 3 and 4 with another?

(I got a good deal on one of those deal websites for Module 1 and 2 a while back, and will shop around for 3 and 4!)

Have you ever danced with ElDiablo by the pale moonlight?

Exactly.

Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours.

Does that mean that you didn't get on with whoever did the first two modules?

Nope, I've not done them yet. Only means that funds are limited, which necessitates shopping around! :/

Koas, yes indeed that are many differences in riding a bike and driving a car. Just as there are many differences in driving a car and driving a bus, each vehicle is different but the roadcraft always stays the same, being able to read the road, for want of a better term, is more important that anything else, in my opinion. The problem is that you can't teach roadcraft, its a skill you have to learn all on your own.

Only seeing this now...

Again, I think you're wrong, there's a difference between bike roadcraft and car/bus/truck roadcraft.
