Safe braking means using both brakes together.
The front brake provides most of your stopping power, while the rear brake helps keep the motorcycle balanced and stable. Learning to apply both smoothly and progressively gives you shorter stopping distances and greater control in all road conditions.
Practise good braking habits before you need them in an emergency.

Leather remains one of the best materials for abrasion resistance, but it isn’t the only safe option.
Modern textile motorcycle clothing with CE-approved armour offers excellent protection, is waterproof, lighter to wear and often more practical for everyday commuting.
Whatever you wear, make sure it’s designed specifically for motorcycling and includes impact protection in key areas such as the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. Good protective equipment is an investment in your safety.

Not all helmets offer the same level of protection.
Before buying, check that your helmet carries recognised safety approval markings, such as UNECE Regulation 22.06, which is accepted for road use in the UK. Avoid novelty helmets that don’t meet recognised safety standards.
A certified helmet could make all the difference when it matters most.

A full-face helmet offers the highest level of protection by covering your entire head, including your chin and jaw - areas commonly injured in motorcycle crashes.
Choose a helmet that fits snugly without causing discomfort and always look for recognised safety approvals. Comfort is important, but protection comes first.

Flip-up (modular) helmets combine the protection of a full-face helmet with the convenience of an open-face design. They’re a favourite with commuters, touring riders and instructors because they make it easier to communicate when stationary.
Remember, always ride with the chin bar fully closed and locked. An open chin bar is not designed to protect you while riding.

Do motorbikes pay London`s Congestion Charge? No. But that is not the whole story.
- Motorcycles and mopeds are exempt from the £18 daily charge
- ULEZ is separate: the bike needs to meet Euro 3 for NOx, or it is £12.50 a day
- The Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels charge does apply to bikes

Open-face helmets offer excellent visibility, ventilation and comfort, making them a popular choice for many scooter and urban riders. However, they provide less facial and chin protection than a full-face helmet.
Whichever style you choose, make sure it fits correctly, fastens securely and meets the latest approved safety standards. A well-fitting quality helmet is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment you’ll ever own.

That `electric moped for adults` in your basket might legally be a motorcycle.
The test is not the label, it is the spec. Pedals that propel it, a 250 watt motor, assistance stopping at 15.5mph: that is an electrically assisted pedal cycle, rideable at 14 with no licence.
Miss any one of those and it is a moped or motorcycle in law. Provisional licence, CBT, tax, insurance, registration, helmet. Riding without a valid CBT certificate risks a fine of up to £1,000 and up to six penalty points.
CBT is not a test you pass or fail. It is training, and it takes a day.
