Are there any IAM, RoSPA or police riders on here? I took the Bike Safe class last week and have come up with a few questions.
According to IAM/RoSPA/roadcraft rules -
1. When stopping, I know you should cover the rear brake and only put the left foot down to stop. However, once stopped and it is safe behind you, is it OK to put the right foot down and cover the gear lever or do you always have to do the 'Croydon shuffle' and switch your feet back and forth?
2. When riding on a multi-lane road - let's say 3 lanes for argument - that is not a motorway, should I use the full width of my lane just like I was on a single lane B road or should I just maintain my normal line even when there's not a lot of traffic around or should I be moving back and forth between lanes to get the absolute best view around the corner possible?
Thanks!
