About two years ago the Highways Agency produced a very good - especially for a freebie - DVD called 'Great Roads Great Rides', which was given away free with Bike magazine. In total, over 600,000 copies were given away!
They've now followed it up with the carefully-named 'Great Roads Great Rides 2'.

"Great Roads Great Rides 2" is a new resource to help riders 'read the road' successfully and stay safe while enjoying their biking experience. It will be launched on Wednesday, February 25 at the annual RoSPA Road Safety Congress in Blackpool.
The package includes a DVD film and interactive package. With clever filming techniques, it puts the viewer on the bike, inside the helmet and close to the road, and features a 14-minute ride-out from motorway on to urban and countryside roads.
Riders can then use the second section offering an interactive challenge when the disc is used with a computer. Here the ride-out section freezes at specific points so the viewer can have a go at identifying the clues that they would use when reading the road ahead. When the viewer gets a highlighted clue right they score a point. There is also an option to display all useful hints and tips throughout the journey.
Watch the 'riding' section here (along with other HA videos).
