Which scenario breeds the better rider?

Ahhh, interesting point... Not sure if I totally agree but I understand what you're getting at.

But lets take rider skill out of the equation for a second & look at beliefs (for lack of a better word)
Just because one takes a safety course doesn't mean they BELIEVE in being a safe rider.
I see all too many riders (again, regardless of skill level) who have taken & completed the course & get that insurance discount, ride in a blatantly unsafe manner.

Teaching it however, you probably do.
I don't see too many MSF coaches riding crazy on the street.

Anyway, I hope that you would agree that in general, an MSF RiderCoach would be less likely to get into an accident than your average MSF BRC grad.
I just think that the folks that coach the course deserve a little discount as well.
