I've been riding the last 6 months and feel comfortable with everyday riding. But with that comes bad habits, like casual speeding (5-10 over), resting the left hand on the leg, etc. I'm just worried they'll be looking for stuff I'm not thinking about.

I'm off to a parking lot to practice some basics!

Thanks for any suggestions
Practice3 your tight radius low-speed turns, weaving, and 2 lane wide (diameter of u-turn) u-turn. When driving down a road wider than 1 lane, signal to change into the "other" lane (even if it's unmarked). Of course, don't signal to change lanes close to an intersection or someone might think you're turning when you aren't.
