Although I have years of experience riding in traffic, I still learned a lot from this course. It provides a comprehensive approach that pulls together legal requirements, best practices for safe riding, and the benefits of communication and courtesy. Additionally, it lots of helpful tips for specific situations, such as narrow lanes and complex intersections.
