Did you see the 1st part of the test ride when the rider/pilot leaned far too far towards the red car? He'd have hit it head on at that angle if not glanced off the side of it!

I already did that Matt, I think my computer must have been having a funny 5 mins cos that link works now. Re: Simulator, how can it give accurate results if it's done indoors with no change in weather conditions or temperature? Surely those things are vital to the experiment as we ride differently in different circumstances.

So when are they gonna make it compulsory for car drivers to use this ? Walk a mile in another man's shoes ? Who is this aimed at exactly ? Unless this is a precursor to CBT, so you have virtually ridden before you even get on bike FFS - when are the powers that be gonna realise that education of CAR drivers is the key to motorcyclist safety Never quite sure how to fit Weekend Warriors / Power Rangers into these kinds of rants

I dunno about making car drivers ride bikes/simulators cos I'd hate to have to drive a car! just to gain experience from a driver's point of view, tho I agree with 'educating' car drivers about bikers somehow cos most of 'em need it.
