1 1 TEACHING NOTES

2 TEACHERS NOTES Lesson Topic: Aims: Resources: Responsibility on the road. Explore the reasons for riding style and behaviour. Raise awareness of the personal risks and the legal implications involved. Get the Message : Act Your Age DVD Icebreakers [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] [H] [I] Read out the following comments. Do students agree with the opinions expressed? Getting 'wasted' every week is stupid, but having a drink when you're out with friends or at a party is fine. In 'Western' culture, alcohol is a social device, which is what teenagers mainly use it for. The legal age for buying alcohol should be lowered to 16, by that age you should be mature enough to drink responsibly and not be stupid. Young people know the risks but give in for individual reasons; some are bored, for others it's peer pressure, others want to rebel to get attention. Teenagers are going to do what they want to do. I don't ride, all my mates do. Most people I know ride and share their ped s. It s what you do when you're with a group of friends and can't find anything better to do. There should be safe, fun places we can hang out at night. I've been so drunk that I've been sick everywhere, but I keep on doing it because it's FUN! Driving a car before you ve got a licence is ok. I can t lose anything cause I haven t got a licence to lose anyway. I Will only use my ped till I get my drivers licence. I need to do loads of training so I m saving money for my driving lessons. Going fast is fine! I m young and I ve got good reactions. That s why older people have more accidents - they re too slow. Drugs have no effect on my riding. If anything I get better when I ve used cannabis because I slow down. Motorbike leathers are for big bikes, I wouldn t wear anything like that jeans and a t-shirt is fine on my ped.

3 TEACHERS NOTES Discussion Topics arising from the DVD Impairment Discussion Point ~ Are you on Drugs? (Dale asks as an insult to his friend ) QUESTIONS 1. Do different drugs affect people differently? 2. What are the legal implications of taking drugs before riding or driving? 3. Will it affect your driving licence? 4. Will you be banned? 5. What if you have an accident? 6. If Drugs and Alcohol are taken to give you a buzz and that buzz makes you feel really positive, how will it affect you when you ride? Most of us are familiar with the laws related to drink driving, but the law is equally tough about driving or riding after taking drugs. The police are finding in many fatal accidents that the drivers and riders show evidence of cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy or prescription drugs. The figures suggest that the drug driving problem is becoming more widespread than drink driving. Many drivers (especially young people) believe that there is no law which prevents them driving after taking drugs, and that even if they do, they won t or can t get caught. It is true that, at present, police officers do not have roadside technology to detect drugs. No "drugalyser" exists. However, they can and do rely on scientifically proven impairment tests. Police can ask a driver/rider to take a five-part test, commonly referred to as a Field Impairment Test, or FIT, if there's any suspicion of drugs. Field Impairment Testing (The FIT Test) The Field Impairment Test is designed to identify those driving under the influence of drugs. The test uses the experience of Police in the USA who, without the breathalyser, have caught and convicted drunken and drug abusing drivers for years. So what happens if you fail a Field Impairment Test? Simple you ll be arrested and taken to a police station where you will be examined by a doctor and further tests and assessments, including a blood sample, will be taken. If the doctor agrees that you have a condition that may be caused by drugs and the blood test comes back as containing even a trace of drugs, legal or otherwise, you will face prosecution. If you are convicted you will be disqualified from riding and driving for at least 12 months. If you haven t got your licence yet, the ban will start when you apply for your provisional licence, so it may delay your driving in the future. Your Insurance premiums will be extremely high and finding affordable insurance will be very difficult. You will be unable to apply for any job that requires a clean driving licence. Remember that drugs can take a long time to leave your body and that you may still fail the tests a considerable time after you last took the drugs. 3

4 TEACHERS NOTES Commonly Used Drugs And Their Effects Cannabis use can impair your ability to drive through poor concentration, disorientation and paranoia. It also reduces co-ordination and balance. Your reaction times will also be much slower. Ecstasy use can impair your ability to drive through poor concentration. It distorts visual perception and reduces your awareness of road dangers. It also reduces co-ordination. Cocaine use can give drivers a false sense of confidence and increase risk taking behaviour. Distances become harder to assess. Concentration becomes very poor which will reduce awareness of road dangers. Some prescription or even over the counter drugs can make you sleepy or slow your reactions. Check the label before you take any medicines and don t drive or ride if you think you may be suffering side effects from anything you have taken. The best and most reliable piece of advice we can offer is. Don t ride or drive if you have taken drugs, and don t accept a lift from anyone who has taken drugs either. 4

5 STUDENT WORKSHEET Drink/Drug Riding Write a short story about a moped rider who drinks or takes drugs before riding one day. Consider the following and then write your story below: 1. Does he/she think about the fact that they are breaking the law? 2. Are they riding alone or in a group and are they carrying a pillion? 3. What happens on their journey? 4. If the police became involved or if there was an accident, how has this affected the life of your character? 5. What has he/she learnt from it? 5

6 TEACHERS NOTES Peer Pressure Discussion Point ~ Lead or be led (Alex s friends voice their opinion about his style of riding and his road safety awareness. He is ridiculed for being so safe - although they do start to come round to his way of thinking eventually). QUESTIONS 1. What is Peer Pressure? 2. Is it positive or negative? 3. Does everyone face peer pressure? Research shows that peer pressure is part of life. It happens to younger and older children as well as adults. It will effect everyone at secondary school and it s effect can be dangerous. People can be influenced to do things that they don t want to do. This is a negative type of peer pressure. What is it? Your peers are those who are similar to you, like friends who live near you, or people in your classes at school. Peer pressure is when you do something either because they ve persuaded you to or because all of them are doing it. Is it a bad thing? You can learn a lot from your peers. They can help you develop your talents and give you support and motivation to succeed. On the other hand, people often end up doing stuff that s bad for them because of peer pressure, like smoking, missing school or shoplifting. Why do people give in to peer pressure? Most people like to fit in and it s hard being the only one doing something different. Sometimes people are worried they ll be picked on if they don t go with the crowd. Other times people do stuff because they think their friends will like them more, or because their mates are doing it, so it seems normal. How should I deal with peer pressure? You'll experience peer pressure all through life, so it s best to learn to deal with it now. Choose your friends wisely - Go for quality, not quantity. Focus on developing firm friendships with people who have the same values and ideas as you have. Even having one friend who ll back you up when you want to go against the group will really help. Be strong - always go with what you know is right. Remember, good friends respect your wishes and individuality. Stand up for what you believe in and you ll respect yourself more too. It may feel really hard to say no when friends are encouraging you to do something. Another example would be if all your friends took drugs, would you take them to be like your friends. It could be that you are the one who ends up addicted to drugs. If friends rode each others ped s, would you ride too? Even though you know that you are risking a lot? 6 At the end of the DVD Alex had started to influence his friends to wear protective gear and think about their riding. He even seemed to have won over the unimpressed Leah! There is sometimes a benefit in starting a trend rather than following one.

7 TEACHERS NOTES Peer Pressure Discussion Point ~ Attitude (Think about Greg s behaviour when he was riding with Charlotte. Although he was riding very badly anyway, it got worse when he was trying to impress the girls at the side of the road). Riding with attitude Does what other people think of you influence the way in which you ride? Changing your riding style just to impress your friends - pulling wheelies, and doing tricks - increases your chances of having an accident. Is it really worth it? There s other ways of showing them what a great rider you are. Taking your attention away from the road may leave you vulnerable. Remember that accidents are often caused by other road users, and if they are unable to anticipate your actions you may find yourself involved in unnecessary accidents. Consider This! The person riding in this shot is a trained professional. Imagine what would happen if it was you or your friend behaving like this. Consider the consequences - who could get hurt? What would happen to your licence if you were caught by the police? It just isn t worth the few minutes of laughter that you might get from it. 7

8 STUDENT WORKSHEET Peer Pressure What is Peer Pressure? Give an example of how peer pressure has affected you? Was it positive or negative? How did it make you feel? Think about the peer pressure that you saw in the DVD. Now think about how you have been affected by peer pressure. Using both examples, write a short role play. You can be as creative as you like but you must use the following things in your story: 1. Three main characters (Skye, William and Brody) 2. A moped 8

9 TEACHERS NOTES Safety Gear Discussion Point ~ Why would you want to? (Alex criticises his friends for their lack of appropriate clothing. Leah makes a comment about Dales helmet when he falls off towards the end of the film). QUESTIONS 1. What safety items do you legally need to wear when riding a moped, scooter or motorcycle? 2. What other items are beneficial? 3. How do you decide what to buy? 4. How does it protect you? At what point would you decide boots and gloves are an absolute must? Why risk serious head injury for the sake of 30 seconds to fasten a helmet? Would you ever consider riding without one? Do you know anyone who has been hurt on a scooter or motorcycle? Were they wearing the right gear? Have you had a near miss/lucky escape? Does advertising/publicity give you the right messages? Do you think the helmet law is a good thing? When riding a moped or motorcycle on the road, all riders and pillions must, by law wear a properly fastened helmet. Getting caught on the road with a helmet undone carries the same penalty as riding without one, and it won t be much use if you fall off while it is unfastened - the helmet could even add to injuries, as it may damage your spine as it is forced off your head. Even at very low speeds the brain can be permanently damaged so take care of your head! You should choose a helmet carefully and fasten it all the times. What to Look For When Buying a Helmet Make sure the helmet you buy has the BSI kite mark (BSI ) or UN ECE mark on the helmet or strap. As with anything else, you generally get what you pay for, although expensive graphics don t do much for your safety. With something as important as your head at stake, you should buy the best you can afford and never buy second-hand. You don t know what has happened to it before. There could be internal damage which you can t see from the outside. It is probably best to get a full-face helmet rather than an open-face helmet because there is so much more protection of the eyes, face and chin. Helmets should be a snug fit because the padding will soon bed down and this could make the helmet loose, which at worst, could come off in an accident. You should ask at your local dealership for help with fitting if you are not sure. Dark or iridium coated visors may look cool but they can really restrict your vision and are illegal in this country unless e-marked. 9

10 TEACHERS NOTES Safety Gear Gloves Leather gloves protect your hands from extreme temperatures as well as injury. A fly hitting your hand at 30 miles an hour feels like a stone has hit it! You should cover your hands at all times, particularly in the cold, as cold weather can make you lose concentration. Leather gloves with full fingers will help minimise cuts and bruises to the hands. Good bike gloves have extra layers over vulnerable areas such as the palms and knuckles. Clothing Many younger riders wear denim jeans, combats or track-suit trousers which offer very little protection. There are some really cool jeans and combats available that have Kevlar lining all over and inserts in the knee, thigh and buttock areas. They offer seriously good protection against road rash, are comfortable and can be worn for the whole day. Other plus points are, they are warm in winter, cool in summer and over a long ride are still very comfortable due to the Kevlar in the rear of the jeans giving extra padding. If you re not convinced that peer pressure doesn t matter, you don t have to admit to wearing safe trousers - no one can tell. If you don t fancy Kevlar jeans or combats, you can look at Cordura or Goretex suits, jackets and trousers. Most textile motorcycle gear is tough, waterproof and breathable and there is a massive choice of colour, style and price available. Good footwear is essential in the prevention of foot and ankle injury. You should NEVER ride in trainers as they will disintegrate in seconds if you come off - leaving the feet in a right mess! You should ensure that whatever you choose has a non crushable sole and solid ankle protection. Leather is likely to offer more protection. Remember though, if you are wearing boots and they have laces, make sure they are tied up AND tucked in as they can get caught on the scooter. At 30 miles an hour it will take on average 3 seconds for skin to wear down to the bone! Jeans or track-suit trousers will give less than a seconds protection! Many young riders don t bother with protective clothing for two reasons: 1. The look - People think that wearing a full set of leathers just to ride a moped might look a bit stupid. Also if they are just using the bike to get from A to B, they may find walking around all day in leathers a bit of a nuisance. Whilst leather probably offers the best possible protection and it should be considered, there are plenty of good quality alternatives. 2. The cost - Many young riders may think it unnecessary to splash out on protective clothing particularly if they are only planning on riding for a short time or only for short journeys (but remember most accidents happen within a 2 mile radius of a riders home)! There are some really great motorcycle clothing ideas for both male and female riders. Some of it is cleverly designed to look like ordinary High Street fashions, both Alex and Charlotte wore some great protective clothing that looked really cool too. Check out your local scooter dealers as well as some of the internet auction sites (but make sure you get the right quality as well as the right price)! Army Surplus stores are great for more robust footwear or try to get some Rockport or Timberland look-alikes. 10 Kevlar combats or jeans cost around 85 and jackets are also available. Some textile alternatives are even cheaper. Draggin Jeans are available at various bike stores and all their products have Kevlar inserts offering much better protection against road rash they even make hoodies (Alex was wearing one)!

11 To make sure that the material is abrasion resistant, it needs to be tested! And now the results. You can see bits of material coming off the jeans! It is very important that protective safety gear is worn, even if you are going on a really short journey. 11

12 STUDENT WORKSHEET Safety Gear Here are a few multiple choice questions about safety clothing when you are riding a moped: Question 1 What is the legal requirement for safety clothing on a motorcycle/moped? a) Gloves only b) Helmet only c) Helmet and Gloves d) Full set of leathers Question 2 How long would it take for the skin to wear down to the bone if you were doing a speed of 30 miles per hour? a) 3 seconds b) 10 seconds c) 10 minutes d) 3 minutes Question 3 What should you never do when thinking about safety clothing for a moped? (There is more than one correct answer) a) Put sun cream on your nose c) Wear a t-shirt to ride in b) Buy a second hand helmet d) Wear a helmet that you have dropped. Question 4 What is the name of the material that gives better protection against road rash? a) Denim b) Chenille c) Corduroy d) Kevlar 12

13 STUDENT HANDOUT Safety Gear Safety Helmet Helmets bought in the UK must have the BSI kite mark (BSI ) or UN ECE mark of approval on the helmet or strap. You generally get what you pay for BUT expensive graphics won t protect you! NEVER buy second hand! You don't know if the helmet has been dropped or involved in an accident. The outside might look great but it could be damaged inside! A full face helmet is probably better as it offers better protection for the eyes, face and chin. Get a snugly fitting helmet as when it beds down it may loosen. Avoid lending your helmet to anyone else! Their head will be a different size and shape to yours and this will stretch the inside of the helmet. Gloves Gloves are very important - they can protect your hands from blisters, wind, sun and cold. A fly hitting your hand at 30mph feels like a stone has hit you. Cover your hands at all times! Leather gloves are best and they should be full fingered to prevent cuts and bruises. Clothing Denim jeans, combat trousers and track suit bottoms offer almost no protection! There are some really cool jeans and combats available that have Kevlar lining. This protects against road rash and is comfortable enough to wear all day long. They are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. You won t look like you are wearing safety clothing. If you don t fancy Kevlar, take a look at Cordura or Gortex suits, jackets and trousers. There is lots of choice in colour, style and price. Keeping warm in the winter is vital. Getting cold will affect your ability to concentrate. Cold hands and feet are hard to control - so keep warm and comfortable. You will really feel the benefit. Footwear Good footwear can protect against foot and ankle injury. Don t ride in trainers! They will disintegrate in seconds if you come off - leaving your feet in a right mess! Make sure that whatever you choose has a non crushable sole and solid ankle protection. Leather is likely to offer you more protection. REMEMBER, AT 30 MPH IT WILL TAKE ON AVERAGE 3 SECONDS FOR YOUR SKIN TO WEAR DOWN TO THE BONE! JEANS OR TRACK - SUIT TROUSERS WILL GIVE YOU LESS THAN A SECOND S PROTECTION. The Look & Cost You might think wearing a full set of leathers on a moped would look a bit stupid! That is why the alternatives are a great idea. The cast of the DVD were all wearing protective safety clothing and they all looked really cool. Kevlar combats or jeans cost around although some textile alternatives are cheaper. Have a look at Draggin Jeans products. They all have Kevlar inserts and offer much better protection against road rash! They even make hoodies. You can still look cool! 13

14 TEACHERS NOTES Pillion Passengers Discussion Point ~ Safe for Two? (In the film we see that Leah is riding on the back of Ben s moped. The moped that Ben rides is designed for 1 person, and has no passenger foot pegs. Leah says this bike ain t safe for 2. Ben s response is to shrug his shoulders). QUESTIONS 1. Does Ben really care whether the bike is legal for carrying a pillion. 2. If Ben cares for Leah, should he let her on the ped? 3. Is it peer pressure that makes Leah get on the moped? 4. How does carrying a pillion effect the machine? 5. Is it safe to ride on the back of a moped? 6. If you get stopped by the police, who will be prosecuted - the pillion or the rider? To legally carry a passenger on a moped you must have passed a full moped licence. Your local training school will run a special course to get you ready for the test. Once you have passed this test you can take your mates on the back but only if your moped is equipped to carry passengers. It must have seating for 2 passengers and foot pegs which have been fitted by the manufacturers. When carrying a passenger you need to be prepared for some changes to the way that your moped will handle. The extra weight of a passenger will reduce the ground clearance, making the moped harder to handle, and it will also reduce the acceleration and top speed too. Overtaking will take longer, so you will need more of a gap in the traffic to get past. Remember, you are now responsible for two people rather than one. Make sure you take account of all the changes in the handling of your ped. Don t be tempted to carry a pillion before you have passed your test. If you get caught you may well end up in court where you could receive a fine and points on your licence. 14

15 STUDENT WORKSHEET Pillion Passengers Do you think that it is fair to ride with a pillion passenger even if you haven t had the proper training? Do you think that carrying a pillion improves your image? Whether you agree or not, it is time to put your views forward in a good old fashioned debate! The class should split into four groups. Each group should then divide into two and call themselves teams A and B. The topics that you are going to debate can be found below. Your teacher will tell you how much preparation time you have and you should elect a team speaker to put forward the views of the group. Each group will be given 7 minutes and 30 seconds to put their points across. Once each team has had their time, the whole class can join in for an open floor debate. Remember to be considerate of other people s views. Don t just shout out your opinions though, the teacher will let you know when it is your turn. Group 1 It is up to the rider to make sure they don t carry a pillion! Group 2 You should be able to carry a pillion after taking your CBT! Group 3 Carrying a pillion looks cool so everyone should do it! Team A should argue that the rider is responsible for whether they carry a pillion. Team B should argue that it is the pillions responsibility not to get on a moped without the rider having the correct licence. Team A should argue that after you have done your CBT, you should be able to take a pillion passenger. Team B should argue that it takes more skill than you learn on a CBT and that further training is required. Team A should argue that taking a pillion passenger looks cool. Team B should argue that looking cool doesn t matter - safety does! Group 4 Carrying a pillion is fine as long as they know what to do! Team A should argue that carrying a pillion passenger is fine as long as they know what to do. 15 Team B should argue that it is more important for the rider to know what to do!

16 TEACHERS NOTES Insurance QUESTIONS Discussion Point ~ Who will pay? (When Alex first passes his CBT, he asks his gang who would pay compensation if they hurt anyone in an accident) 1. What are the implications of riding uninsured? 2. Can you be prosecuted? 3. How would you pay for a re-spray on a BMW? 4. What happens to other people if you are responsible for injury to pedestrians or other riders or drivers? Insurance is a legal requirement. The main reason for having insurance is to protect others on the road third parties. If you have an accident with another vehicle and you cause any damage and the other driver can show it is your fault you will have to pay for the repairs. Even worse, if you injure another person (maybe a pillion), you will not only have to live with your actions but may end up paying for their medical expenses/needs. There are several insurance claims that exceed 1,000,000 each year for personal injury. Ask students to imagine what would happen if they had no insurance to cover this but they had to pay for it out of their own pocket! The law requires that insurance is in place to make sure that the repairs and possible injuries can be paid for. Insurance can also be fully comprehensive and will then cover damage to your own vehicle even if it was your own fault. Remember, insurance applies to you as an individual not to the bike so if you ride a mates bike you probably won t be insured. Make sure you don t get any points on your licence as it will make your insurance more expensive! Modified Mopeds Discussion Point ~ How cool is that? (Ben rides a modified moped in the DVD. It looks really cool but is it legal and is it worth it? QUESTIONS 1. What are the benefits of de-restricting a moped? 2. Is it worth the risk of getting banned? 3. What implications are there for riding faster on the road? 4. If you lose your licence, what happens then? There would be no car for a while either! There are lots of additions and funky extras that can be purchased to make a moped look better. You shouldn t be tempted to make any modifications which might make it louder or faster. It would probably become both dangerous and illegal. If there is any doubt, consult your local scooter dealer. The law deliberately restricts a moped to 30mph. It is possible to fit kits and make changes to a moped to make it go faster. It is not legal. It is also obvious to the police if a moped has been de-restricted and you will get caught. 16 In the eyes of the law, you will be riding without a licence (a provisional moped licence only entitles to ride up to 30mph) and also without insurance (the insurance policy is invalid if you make changes to your moped without telling them).

17 STUDENT HANDOUT Modified peds De-restriction The law restricts mopeds from going over 30mph. Kits are on sale to make peds go faster but they are ILLEGAL. The police can spot a de-restricted moped easily. If you ride a de-restricted moped you are riding without a licence and insurance. If you get caught riding a de-restricted moped you may well lose your licence and get a fine. Remember - you only have one licence! If you lose it on a scooter, you also lose the privilege of driving a car too. Changing your pipes Noisy pipes are not allowed...that s the general rule. Pipes are allowed to be 75 decibels (which is not very loud). If you put loud pipes on your moped, everyone will know (which is probably why you did it in the first place)! Neighbours, passers by and the police will hear them too - it does not take much to get reported. They might sound good (to you) but they will catch you out and you will be prosecuted. L-Plates It doesn t feel cool to ride with L-Plates but everyone has to start at the beginning. Most moped and scooter riders do not have a full licence, so a ped without L-Plates will draw the attention of the police. Riding without L-Plates will invalidate your insurance. If you have L-Plates they must be legal and not cut down. Fix them to your moped exactly as you buy them with all the white bits intact! (not like Dale s) 17

18 STUDENT WORKSHEET Insurance/Modification OPTION 1 Write a news report relating to scooter riders and insurance. You can choose the angle of the story as long as it covers the two main themes. Here are a few examples of what you might want to write about: Increase in cost of insurance for scooter riders. The number of scooter riders without insurance. A new insurance deal for young people who ride scooters. A celebrity who has been caught riding a scooter without insurance. Of course, you can always make up your own but these should give you some ideas. Don t forget that there are two main types of newspaper - tabloids and broadsheets. The word tabloid actually describes the size of the paper which is half the size of a traditional broadsheet. There is less focus on serious news and they tend to use more pictures, emotive language and entertain their readers. Broadsheets tend to offer a more balanced view and analysis. You will need to decide before you start whether you are writing an article for a broadsheet or a tabloid. OPTION 2 Design a leaflet explaining why 16 year olds should NOT modify their mopeds. Think about how it will effect their safety, insurance and licence. Be as creative as you can. Remember that this needs to appeal to a 16 year old! 18

19 TEACHERS NOTES Training - your CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) QUESTIONS Discussion Point ~ It s Compulsory, It s Basic and I m Trained - aren t I? (Both Alex and Greg take their CBT s in the DVD) 1. Why do a CBT? 2. What are the benefits of training? 3. Does training damage your image - or make it better? What do you know about Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)? Many young riders think that the CBT is something to do as quickly as possible. After all it is just a bit of paper that allows you to ride legally on the road. Should you take the CBT more seriously? Absolutely! The CBT is there to make sure that riders have the basic skills to ride safely on the road. It is important that you do a full CBT and this should take at least a day and include at least 2 hours on the road. While on the road, the instructor should be making sure that you are safe to ride on your own. If he/she does not think so, you will need more practice before you are issued with a CBT Certificate. It is worth spending the money to get a decent CBT course, as after that you will be on the road using these new found skills to keep yourself and others safe. Further Training - Once you have your CBT Certificate, should that be the end of your training? Anyone who learns to play any sport or a musical instrument, will know that it is only the combination of teaching and practice that makes you really good. Why should riding a moped or scooter be any different? So after the CBT, what are the advantages of further training? - Being safe on the road has obvious benefits, like staying in one piece and not getting hurt! Riding well has other benefits too. You will enjoy being out on the road more if you are not riding from potential disaster to possible accident. You will also get to where you want to be quicker without having to speed. Plus you will look a lot better on your ped if you are not hopping and swerving along the road.
