Understanding motorcycle casualty figures starts with asking what is being counted.
DfT`s final 2025 figures show that 39% of recorded motorcycle casualties in Great Britain were killed or seriously injured, compared with 17% of car occupant casualties.
Those percentages describe the severity of recorded casualties. They cannot predict an individual rider`s outcome.

That motorcycle symbol 🏍️ on a bus-lane sign isn`t decoration — it`s the difference between a legal ride and a fine. Every bus lane is different, so always check the symbol, the permitted vehicles, and the operating times before you go through 🕐. Read the sign. Check the time. Know before you ride. 🌐 universalmct.co.uk | 📞 0203 691 8807 #UniversalMotorcycleTraining #MotorcycleTraining #BusLane #MotorcycleTips #LearnToRide #CBTTraining #MotorcycleSafety #LondonBikers #UKMotorcycles...
It`s not about chasing the pass - it`s about becoming a rider who`s actually ready for the road. 🏍️ At Universal Motorcycle Training, safety comes first, there`s no pressure to pass, and every lesson builds real skills that last. 💬 What`s the best advice your instructor ever gave you?

🏍️ Learn to ride. Ride to learn. Ride for life. 📍 Training across London & Hertfordshire 📞 020 3691 8807 🌐 www.universalmct.co.uk
🏍️ Before we take you onto the road, we need to know you’re ready for it.
Whether it’s your CBT, full licence training or a private lesson, there are three key areas we’re looking at:
👀 Spatial Awareness — Can you judge your position, space and surroundings without running wide, hitting kerbs or putting yourself in another vehicle’s path?
🛣️ Roadcraft Knowledge — Can you understand and respond correctly to road signs, markings, traffic lights and other road users?
🏍️ Machine Control & Coordination — Are you in control of the motorcycle, able to coordinate your inputs and stop safely when you need to?
And there’s one thing connecting all three: your ability to stay focused for the duration of the ride. A ride can start brilliantly, but if concentration drops, your safety can drop with it.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about demonstrating that you have the awareness, knowledge and control to ride safely on the road.
CONTROL. AWARENESS. ROADCRAFT.
Build the foundations. Then take them to the road. 💙 🌐 universalmct.co.uk 📞 0203 691 8807
The answer is: sometimes — so always read the sign. 👀
Bus lane rules can vary depending on the location and operating times. Before entering, check: 🏍️ Vehicle symbols — is a motorcycle shown? ⏰ Operating times — when do the restrictions apply? 🪧 The full sign — check for additional conditions or exceptions. 🛣️ Road markings — make sure you understand which lane the restriction applies to.
Never assume one bus lane has the same rules as another. Check first, then ride. Save this post for your next ride and share it with another rider. 📲

Don`t just learn to ride. Learn to ride well. 🌐 universalmct.co.uk | 📞 0203 691 8807
🏍️ A motorcycle licence is a milestone — not the end of your development as a rider.
Becoming a confident, capable rider comes from building the right habits from the very beginning and continuing to develop them every time you ride.
From your CBT onwards, the skills you practise — observations, shoulder checks, slow-speed control, road positioning, clutch control and planning ahead — aren’t just things to demonstrate during training. They’re tools you’ll use throughout your riding life.
The goal is to turn good technique into good habits — and eventually muscle memory.
✅ Learn the fundamentals ✅ Practise them in real situations ✅ Experience different roads and conditions ✅ Read the road and anticipate hazards ✅ Reflect on your riding and recognise bad habits ✅ Adapt your technique as conditions and motorcycles change ✅ Keep learning, even after you’ve passed
Good riders don’t simply collect experience. They learn from it. At Universal Motorcycle Training, we’re here for the whole journey — from your first CBT to your full licence and beyond. LEARN. PRACTISE. REFLECT. PROGRESS.
