IMO dirt is pretty unsafe, too. You can’t really say it is safer than street. I would agree that both can be dangerous, but there are many things in life that have a level of risk. The safety courses are great to teach you how to avoid bad situations. The other thing is to not get cocky. Anyone can learn, no matter how many miles/ridning time they have under their belt. > [@tup to muffler man](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tup-to-muffler-man/39912/5): > > I told her I would like to go out take the free safety course through the state just for fun. That way if she ever does say that it is ok, I can just go right out and buy a bike instead of giving her time to change her mind :bigthumb: Invite her to take the course with you. She will have a much better understanding, and possibly change her mind. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bikes/202113)._
