There were only about a third of the cars we have on the roads today back then though!

Yup felt very different, particularly the rural roads. Didn't mean less carnage though, more if anything, out of our little group we had lost two mates by the time I was eighteen with another suffering such a bad brain injury that he has been unable to ride, drive or work since.
As with most things in life, safer often means less enjoyment but despite my tongue in cheek post above, I totally agree with high quality, compulsory training and would highly recommend it even to experienced riders. I did the IAM thing about eight years ago and, although not really my riding style, learning something new is always enjoyable and it has helped me become a better and safer rider and driver as well as find some nice roads I didn't know about ; )
