Books for beginners
The most invaluable book that I have in my repertoire, and I teach this syllabus, is Riding the Essential Skills. You can buy it from amazon.co.uk. It has exactly the same rules, except for the NZ give way rules, and the road signs are English, but easy to recognise. They ride on the same side of the road, and there isn't anything of its calibre available in New Zealand. The american books are good, but you need to convert from the toher side of the road, so positions all need to be mirror imaged, which can get confusing.
I have a number of Riding the essential skills books that I loan to my students, who are undertaking training with me, and they have all found it to be of enormous use.
When we are doing car training, we use the car version of the same book. Well worth the 10 Uk pounds sterling, plus postage.
Remember, that GOOD QUALITY TRAINING stays with you forever. It doesn't get sold with your bike, or expire with your rego. It stays with you FOREVER..
It's not the message that is DELIVERED, but the message that is RECEIVED that is important.
