Approaching riding in a planned way will quickly help you to improve your motorcycling skills.
It will help you spot hazards earlier and plan your progress in an efficient way.
Hazards you may encounter can range from physical features such as junctions, roundabouts, bends and hill crests, to the movements of other road users, changes in the road surface and problems that are created by the weather.
If you’ve just started to ride or you’re returning after a break, learning the IPSGA system will help you to get ahead – to become a smoother rider.
A useful five-part riding system called IPSGA that you can apply to every manoeuvre you make.
The letters relate to the five elements of the system. Here’s how it works.
This IPSGA system should be practised until it becomes second nature and a completely natural thing to do. The good thing is that it can be applied to any riding situation or manoeuvre.
The idea is to use the steps in sequence, as outlined above. However, it is important to note that the information element is intended to overlap the other four parts of the sequence. This means that if the circumstances change as you plan your progress, you can go back to the relevant point in the IPSGA sequence and begin planning with the new hazard or hazards in mind.
It’s also worth stressing here that all aspects of the system should be considered and not just applied automatically. You need to think about a situation rather than just reacting.
There are many benefits with a system like IPSGA. As well as raising awareness of what’s going on around you, it also ensures that your actions will not take any other road users by surprise. That said, do keep an eye on other people to make sure they have seen you and are acting accordingly.
To see how IPSGA is applied in typical riding situations, have a look at the graphic below which shows how the system would work in a typical situation such as turning right at a roundabout.
