The Riding Standard is supplementary to Roadcraft, written specifically for New Zealand roads. It is designed to concentrate on the particular characteristics of Advanced Riding in New Zealand but is not an alternative to Roadcraft. Associates will need to be aware of the New Zealand Road Code, Roadcraft and the Riding Standard in order to demonstrate their required Advanced Motorcycle knowledge and skills.
The Riding Standard will be used by the Observers as a coaching aid and a source of reference during the period of coaching to Advanced Test Standard.
