Track-based bike training company British Superbike School has launched its Brake Like a Pro campaign to encourage riders to improve their braking skills, ideally with an advanced instructor in an off-road environment.
“In an emergency, around 50% of riders just skid and fall, and only half of riders can achieve Highway Code braking distances,” said Mike Abbott at the school. “We also need more coroner reports, more data on PTW crashes and more relevant ‘contributory factors’ if the training industry is to address the priority issues.”
