From the National Motorcycle Museum, Solihull. Can motorcycling be made safer without destroying its inherent excitement? The ‘Feet First’ design concept is claimed to offer just that. Paul Blezard reports on various British attempts at designing such machines and tests the extraordinary Swiss Oekomobil — a fully enclosed motorcycle capable of 160mph and yet offering 90mpg at 75mph. Four-wheel steering is said to offer safety advantages to car drivers. Chris Goffey compares the two cars, both Japanese, that are now available fitted with the system. It also forms the basis for a new technique for teaching all drivers how to control a skidding car. William Woollard tries out the new device that may offer the key to skid training for all learner drivers. Tony Mason reports on the result of the Radio Times Rally Quest 88 competition.
