About Bikeability On Road Training Level 3

LEVEL THREE is for those who have successfully completed level two and are sufficiently confident to carry on to do their advance training which involves multi lanes, traffic lights, fords, level crossings, roundabouts and gyratories and can be for getting from home to school, college or work or just to be able to cycle as, when and where one wishes and not being intimidated by the sheer volume of traffic by riding assertively and negotiating one’s way across lanes and busy roads when turning. 

This is where age does come into play and only something I would recommend for a competent almost Y7 student and above as confidence, the ability to reason and decisiveness is a very important part of being able to cope with the complexity of Level 3 training ...

Level 3 skills include:-

      How to use roundabouts
      How to use junctions controlled by traffic lights
      How to use multi lane roads and turn off into them
      An understanding of filtering and an ability to decide when to filter and when to wait
      How to use both on and off-road cycle facilities
      Hazard perception and strategy to deal with hazards
      An understanding of route planning 
      Demonstrate a basic understanding of the Highway Code, in particular how to interpret road signs
      Demonstrate an understanding of safety equipment and clothing

The client should be able to demonstrate the above consistently having either completed Levels 1 and 2 successfully or been assessed as competent in Level 1/2 skills.
