Doing my bike test made me a better driver, of that I have I have no doubt. I personally think everybody (who's able) should have to do some sort of bike based training. Might make them think a bit more seeing just how vulnerable bikers are.
Speed on a bike is stupidly easy. I have a Suzuki GSX650F, not even close to being a sports bike but it will still do the national speed limit in 2nd gear (it has 6) and gets there very quickly putting so called quick cars to shame. I know a Kawasaki ZX10r Ninja will do over the national speed limit in 1st!
All modern bikes (since 2000 I believe) automatically have their headlights on when you turn the ignition on the problem is now becoming that all cars are now the same with the DRLs being law in Europe that bikes are slipping into the back ground again. I fitted a Philips MotoVision bulb which is ment to have an orange glow to try to differentiate you from the cars and it seems to have worked as there seems to be less cars pulling out in front of me (would recommend to fellow bikers). You have to be very sensible went out on a bike, I tend to cruise everywhere when I'm out using the speed and acceleration for overtaking as it's just to dangerous otherwise.
I'd say on an average 50-60 mile run that I have 2-3 cars pull out in front of me or overtake with me coming the opposite way. Now I'm not a small bloke, my bike is bright blue and white with the headlight on permanently, my leathers have a red and white top half/shoulders/arms and my helmet is bright red/white/orange so I shouldn't be hard to spot yet people frequently don't see me because I believe they are not looking. Never mind looking for a bike.
Now for the driver in the video I'd say he's done that a thousand times before and been lucky. We've all had it done to us in our cars where the person just couldn't wait for the massive gap behind you before pulling across. Just this time he didn't see the oncoming traffic before it had hit him. Was the biker to blame, yes partly but as stated in sat the driver has done that countless times before and holds a majority of the blame.
For anybody I'd say do a few lessons, even if you don't want your bike licence it will make you a better driver.
