I agree, that's not really much to brag about.

I'm an expert car driver - I've never claimed to be an expert in or on any other type of vehicle - please try to keep up. The only thing that concerns me regarding other types of vehicle is avoidance. I don't subscribe to the view that learning to drive one particular road vehicle teaches you how to drive another. I know that lorries are heavy and slow and bikes are light and fast - both likely to be driven/ridden by morons and best avoided for similar reasons. What else do I need to know?

If you were that good a car driver, you would know and want to know more about M/bikes and lorries and how they may affect you and your car driving. Passing a motorcycle test gives a car driver a better understanding of what it's like from a m/cyclists point of view. Believe me, it helps. Bod
