I thought I was pretty good with the highway code type stuff...since I passed my test in 2000 ive done car+trailer, LGV, HGV, blue lights and finally my bike test so I had refreshed from time to time.....but when I went on the speed awareness course I could see that I was a bit rusty so from that perspective it is useful.
also there are some good points on it about identifying speed limits in the absence of actual signs and stuff like when is a dual carriageway actually a dual carriageway etc.....no Im not telling you the answers :b
some folks on the course maybe haven't done any refresher since they passed their tests 40 years ago so for them it is even more useful....and you may have useful life experience or some influence as a biker that you can pass to them during the discussions and that could be someone else that you save in future.
it certainly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be anyway.

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
