So in this video we talk about one of the most important safety checks you can do while riding a motorcycle, and that's the lifesaver, also known as a shoulder check. The lifesaver is something that ever rider, regardless of experience or engine size, should know what they are and how to do them correctly. In this video we talk about how to not only do a lifesaver correctly but when you should be using them.

    After watching many of your videos I sat my mod2 this morning and passed with zero faults. I have your voice engrained on my brain, "Mirror, Mirror, Signal, lifesaver" Thanks so much.

    Great videos mate, I went from being a Motorbike virgin\ novice to full DAS licence today in space of 2 weeks doing CBT, MOd1, theory and Mod 2 today . Your videos really helped me along together with some good instructors at my local riding school, many thanks again for your strightforward instructions

    I’m taking my cbt shortly. As a cyclist who does around 3500 miles a year on the road, I’ve been practicing my lifesaver to get used to when and where I should be doing them. I do them whilst cycling anyway but going forward to being a motorcycle rider it has reinforced the need to do them too.
  • Got my CBT in 2 Sundays. Your videos are very helpful. Put a deposit down on a KTM Duke 125cc. I'm 33 not ridden since I was 11.
  • This is great thing to reinforce even with riders who’ve passed their test, I regularly see riders with no L plates not doing lifesavers.

    Hi mate just wanted to show my appreciation and say thank you for making the videos you have done especially in regards to mod 1 and mod 2. I passed my das mod 1 last week and mod 2 today with 0 minors and a lot of what I learnt was from watching your videos. Thank you once again.

  • @dengue509
    i love you're videos they have helped me out allot and i enjoy how well you explain things I sometimes go out early in the morning for a ride and i still pull up and do slow manoeuvres keep up the good work
  • Doing my on road session to complete my CBT equivalent tomorrow... Lifesavers are very much on my mind, never having ridden on the public road before. The timing of your video is fortuitous 😊

    🙌🏾🌟🙌🏾 always a pleasure seeing a notification from this channel
  • @seton3342
    I always think of them as life savers for those blind spot checks and I use “stationery shoulder checks” which are left shoulder, left mirror, right mirror, right shoulder - used for pulling away after being stopped for a while
  • @sonskib849
    At the CBT they told us to do lifesavers but never told us what the point of them was, I passed but didn't feel confident with them thanks for this video!
  • @gimlow3946
    Thanks for the brilliant videos, really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Planning to do CBT soon. This has helped alot. Big respect you you mate 🙏👍
  • @bomulus1
    Passed my mod 2 today, all your video were brilliant, so useful and full of tips. Many thanks.
  • Interesting, I've been wondering what a lifesaver is. Not a term used here or back in the day when I rode a bike in the UK. I certainly found the term confusing. Shoulder check is much more familiar. When? anytime you change your position.
  • @jocleobury
    Thankyou for this video. I was wondering what lifesavers were. Just waiting for my provisional licence to come through then booking an intro course and CBT. Thankyou xx
