After many comments from viewers saying the motorcyclist (me) shouldn't have been in lane 2 and despite me writing an explanation, it still looks like people don't understand lane discipline so I've uploaded this explanation.  Remember, this stresses the point even more that people get confused and riders shouldn't sit next to cars,  Cheers

Lane discipline at roundabout explanation | clarification from the short.

Firstly, the bike wasn't in the wrong lane..THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN ZOOMED IN BY YOUTUBE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING IT PORTRAIT VIEW SO RIDER IS NOT AS CLOSE AS IT LOOKS. 

The first lane is ahead only, there is no "left turn".. the first exit, which has two lanes in and out.  The 2nd lane is ahead and right.  The mini was in the wrong lane.

Let's say, for arguments sake, the bike WAS in the wrong lane, which it wasn't...all the more reason not to sit next to the car, don't you think?
 😉

Right or wrong, the biker loses. 

Here's the Google map ref to see for yourself...

A6002
https://maps.app.goo.gl/sRKygPFwAntEfiBz5

and the road sign, showing the layout.

Here's a motorcycle riding tip from an old upload of mine. A couple of months ago, EXACTLY this situation at this exact roundabout, seriously injured a biker. If he'd seen this, he may have avoided being hurt.

Remember, avoid being next to other cars any more than you ABSOLUTELY have to!

Motorcycle safety tip. Don't sit next to vehicles. (IMPORTANT, read description! Video short zoomed)

How to filter on a motorcycle |  Recap

Bringing speed down to avoid trail braking

Bringing speed down to available view will stop this being lethal!

This is another upload proving that if you've read your limit point correctly and planned your speed so you can stop in the distance you see to be clear on your side of the road, the only "trail braking" you'll need is really "corrective braking" to get yourself out of trouble.

No trail braking needed.

Some riding tips whilst out on a nuce sunny Autumn ride.  This isn't actually a motorcycle lesson but it could help you.  

Why you shouldn't put your motorcycle away at the "end of season" from a qualified motorcycle instructor since 1984.

Nice sunny Autumn ride | with some riding tips

Here's another example of setting your speed *before* the bend for your available view and anticipating oncoming dangers.  No trail braking needed again and in this case, no braking needed at all, just position change.

Driver overtakes slow vehicles approaching right bend risking head on crash.

Another excellent bike from Vertu Honda bikes Nottigham. The Honda CMX1100 Rebel.  Very much like the CMX500 rebel but much more powerful.

Here's Some help on motorcycle offsiding.  Some advanced instructors think it's OK to teach what we call "offsiding" on public roads to get an earlier view but this often can put the rider in conflict with the oncoming vehicles and even if it's not dangerous is unfair on the poor driver coming the other way not knowing what the rider is doing. Don't do it.

This isn't generally accepted as advanced motorcycle training and could get you into trouble.  The Scottish police stopped this practise.

Why we don't need to be offsiding on public roads.

Just for fun. Notice how cool the instructor was? 😂

Coolest instructor ever.. 😂

This shows that you need to make sure you can stop in the distance you see to be clear on your side of the road. No need to trail brake.

Carcoon motorcycle outdoor bike bubble Review: see description.

This is another demo or commentary ride with me on my Zero SRS.  I'm pointing out and anticipating potential problems and adjusting my riding accordingly.  There's no difference between this Module 2 test ride and ROSPA, IAM or ERS Advanced riding when in town.  It's all forward planning.

People have commented about not going out when there's black ice... Of course I agree with that, but the roads were fine where I lived, this was 6 miles away and there was no way of seeing what it's like until you actually get there. Once you ARE there, what then? 

This just shows how fast things can go wrong in bad weather and can happen to anyone but twice in 40 years is pretty decent odds. .  The bike is one of our hire Yamaha MT07.
