• use the controls smoothly and progressively;
• select gears at the correct time and in accordance with power requirements;
• plan well ahead so that you can use the throttle sensibly to avoid excessive use of the brakes;
• maximise fuel economy by keeping the engine revs at the correct level;
• look and plan well ahead, preparing for hazards before you reach them;
• adjust your speed to avoid any unnecessary stops;
• start looking early at junctions so that you can take opportunities to proceed, as soon as you are sure it is safe;
• be aware of the speed limit whever you are and make progress by riding up to the limit according to the conditions and your bike;
• be aware of what is happening all around you at all times by using all of the mirrors on a regular basis;
• respond properly to what you see in your mirros;
• anticipate and make allowances for the mistakes of other road users;
• exercise self-discipline when threatened by other road users;
• show courtesy and consideration to anyone else using the road;
• always be prepared to give way, even if it is your priority;
