Motorcycle roadcraft
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 9:25 pm
Hello everyone,
I'm probably being a numpty with this and completly missing the point, but I'm currently working my way through motorcycle roadcraft and there is a paragraph in the system of motorcycle control chapter that has baffled me slightly. It's about the 5 phases of the system which are Information, position, speed, gear and accerleration and the bit that has me confused is this.
"The system must be used flexibly in reposonse to actual road conditions, do not follow the sequence rigidly if it is inappropriate for the circumstances.
Surley all these points should be considered when approaching a hazard? and sure enough it says that in the first sentence of the next paragraph.
"The phases of the system cover all the points you need to consider on the approach to a hazard.
Am I missing something here? and what type of circumstances would you come accross that would not require you to access the hazard using the system of control?
Many thanks
Jack
