...But here's the inherent contradiction in this discussion: it's in the industry's (and perhaps the riding community's) best interest to make training easy (in the sense of inexpensive, not overly time-consuming, etc), so more people get training, licensed and ride.
But getting more people on bikes with limited training isn't necessarily in the best interest of those people, as many of them are not equipped well-enough by that training to be functional motorcyclists, and ultimately get injured or killed or just give up.
We know damn well that a big percentage or riders absolutely fail at self-assessment of their skills, with horrible consequences.
I will agree to this.
Thus why I am a huge proponent that since the limitation imposed to us instructors is reality, it is up to the instructor to mentor and be an influencer to continue their training until they decide they will stop riding all together.
Most of our students are adults with varied to no riding experience. Some take our advice to gain further learning and technique building exercises on their own because reality is a very small to no students will jump out to do a street riding on a closed course such as CLASS and others. Even the IRC doesn't fully prepare a student to be proficient on the streets.
It is what it is.
It is all on one's personal desire and discipline to be a better and safer rider.
