Motorcycle safety gear fail bigtime

[cheshirecat]

Dutch Police (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MGQFLD6kIhU#!) Always trust ones self as if we didn't know.
Mind you far be it for me to advise an officer of the law against parking sideways on a freeway

That cop was an idiot to park his bike in the middle of a lane like that. There was no way any vehicle behind the truck could see him, and as the video shows even once he could be seen, there was nowhere for the following vehicles to go.

Once again, we motorcyclists must take resposibility for their own safety and never assume that Hi Vis will make us safe.

Safety is a state of mind we have ... when tucked up in bed. Everywhere else is dangerous :oi-grr:


And people die in bed too ... :whistle:

Probably the reason he was guarding the lane.

Apparantly dutch police need to learn about a rolling road block.

[caspernz]

Ouch!!!

I doubt that move would be part of the Dutch bike police handbook :facepalm:

[Oakie]

I think all it proves is that you can't see what you're not looking at.
