<P> Riders sometimes use the acronyms MOTGMOTT and ATGATT, which stand for "Most Of The Gear Most Of The Time" and "All The Gear All The Time", when describing their personal gear preferences . </P> <P> In many developed countries riders are now either required or encouraged to attend safety classes in order to obtain a separate motorcycle driving license . </P> <P> Training can help to bridge the gap between a novice and experienced rider as well as improving the skills of a more experienced rider . Skills training would seem to be the answer to reducing the KSI ("killed or seriously injured") rate among motorcycle riders . However, research shows that some who undergo advanced skills training are more likely to be at a higher risk while using the roads (Rutter & Quine, 1996). This risk compensation effect was commented on in the findings of the evaluation of the "Bikesafe Scotland" scheme, where a number of those who undertook training said they rode faster in non-built - up areas after the course (Ormston et al., 2003). This is not to say that training is not important, but that more advanced training should be tempered with psychological training (Broughton 2005). </P> <P> A literature review found that driver and rider education had little benefit, due to the failure of most programs to account for the age and inexperience of the highest risk drivers . After reviewing motorcycle rider education / training programs in three countries, Dan Mayhew of Canada's Traffic Injury Research Foundation said, "no compelling evidence that rider training is associated with reductions in collisions ." </P>
