And, while you're there, make sure that defensive driving ideology stays up front where it belongs.
I haven't taught any courses yet, but rest assured that "defensive driving/motorcycling" ideology, including

In fact, a handout of the relevant sections of the California motorcycle handbook would probably be very useful.
