About Me
I served thirty years in the Avon and Somerset Police for the majority of my service I was a Traffic motorcyclist and lucky to be not only be trained to a very high standard but also have the opportunity to use the skills. I became an advanced motorcycle instructor.
I also took motorcycling into my spare time I was a member of the British team that competed annually in Liege Belgium rode MotoX trials and enduros as well as socially.
I have ridden throughout Europe, America, India, and Russia
In 2000 I took my training to another level by undertaking a Teaching degree where I investigated training practices throughout the world. I wrote several papers on the methods of teaching motorcycling incorporating an androgogic method of instruction. I became an authorised D.S.A. instructor and taught from my own school teaching all Standards of riding.
My degree taught me to interrogate the methods and practice of training and as a result of this, I have progressed to a method of teaching Cognitive Collison avoidance still based upon the police system but one that is much more aware of the dynamics and psychology considerations that need to be made in today’s traffic.
In short, it makes you, the pupil, ask questions rather than be told what to do
Any fool can Know. The point is to understand Albert Einstein
Riding including machine development traffic conditions and aspects of psychological has evolved far quicker than the methods of teaching these skills
