1. The system of motorcycle control gives you that essential aspect of safe riding - time to react.

2. Continuous assessment of information runs through every phase of the system and your ride.

3. If you fail to consider information at every phase, and especially before you change speed or direction, the system will not work and you may put yourself at unnecessary risk.

4. Skilled riders anticipate in order making their plans more effective - good planning depends on early observation and early anticipation of risk.

5. Adjust your speed to how well you can see the complexity of the situation and the distance it will take you to stop. You must always be able to stop within the distance you can see to be clear. "Only a Fool brakes this Rule".

6. The more you brake or accelerate, the less you will be able to steer. This is commonly known as "Tyre Grip Trade Off".

7. If you start to skid - remove the cause, i.e. reduce throttle and speed, ease off the breaks.

8. Remember that skidding must never be practiced on the public road.

9. Give indication / signals when another road user will benefit from it.

10. Do you trust the signals of other road users or do you wait for some other confirmation of their intentions?

11. Never sacrifice a safe road position for any other advantage.

12. One third of children involved in road accidents did not look first, allow younger road users more time, be prepared to slow down or stop if necessary.

13. Match your speed to the speed at which the corner limit point moves away from you, providing you can stop within the distance that you can see to be clear.

14. Remember that overtaking is your decision; you can reconsider it at any point.

15. Do not move to a lane on your left to overtake. Exceptions apply where there are dedicated lanes or there is standing traffic on your right.

16. Always ride within your competence, at a speed which is appropriate to the circumstances

17. Check your speedometer whenever you leave a motorway or high speed road, especially at roundabouts.

18. Whatever the pressures to ride faster, you must always ride within your own capabilities. No journey is so urgent to not warrant your safe arrival.

19. Filtering is often talked about, it must be safe and slow, if not practical, then do not do it.
