Here is some food for thought for new riders and training. Its a mantle that is often followed in Aviation circles where students are licenced at STAGE 3 but not allowed to command until STAGE 4 is gained.
I am left with the impression that motorcycle licencing in NZ occurs somewhere around STAGE 2.
Opinions..?
FOUR STAGES OF LEARNING
STAGE 1: UNCONSCIOUS INCOMPETENCE
Not only do you not know what to do, you have no experience of it either. An example that could be used is for a child, car driving is a mystery. They have no fear and no awareness of what they do not know.
STAGE 2: CONSCIOUS INCOMPETENCE
Practising the skill takes all your concentration – it can be very uncomfortable. You have an awareness of what you should do/know, but you do not always succeed.
STAGE 3: CONSCIOUS COMPETENCE
You can do it, but it takes attention and concentration
STAGE 4: UNCONSCIOUS COMPETENCE
The skills becomes almost a habit, you are able to be successful without concentration and your conscious mind is free to take on other things.
