I briefly rode a motorcycle back in the day and I can say that taking a motorcycle safety course absolutely improved my driving. It helped me become more aware of cyclists and bikers on the road and made me more aware of how my actions impacted how the bike (or car) moved. It was incredibly helpful and I would recommend it to anyone even if you're not interested in riding a motorcycle.

Its a great course. I've taken a lot of different driving courses (friend taught them, I used to jump into his classes for fun and learning) so I've learned all kinds of defensive driving methods...

And hands down MSF is my favorite. Well aside from driving large emergency vehicles safely through cities, but that one was just a fun obstacle course.
