now substitute "1 in 2" instead of "50-50" and read that back

Definitely not. That thread has a single subject...whilst this thread has ... possibilities

Yes. It can't be helped because it's happened. Get over it, move on, let's hope someone learns their lesson. You can still have an accident/crash without riding like you stole it as i've been mentioning across my posts... Not defeatist, realist...
I was wondering if you and KM where fatalists whilst typing that post lol, didn't realise it had come across... It might be fate, it might not, dunno, don't believe in it, can't disregard it... I have 4 kids ta

4 kids??? You must be a fatalist!! just kidding - I (will) have 3 soon...

I am not saying that there are no accidents that will wipe you out regardless of what caution you excercise. But there are plenty that will happen, or could be avoided but arent, because of your lack of caution.

What about the 98 out of a 100 accidents that WILL be happening soon (maybe at a street near you) that ARE avoidable? They have not happened yet. There is still something you CAN DO about them. Throwing your hands up, placing your life in fates hands, and relying on chance that those accidenst will happen when you aren't too compromised seems like a fatalist thing to do.



And teh road is not a place for lack of caution. Too many unforeseen variables that can bite your ass when you are most compromised.

Not in my definition. What is the probability of me hitting a 6 on a dice, 1 in 6, the chances of me getting a 6 are 50 - 50. That's how I look at it.

Alright, just dont give up your day job for being an actuary or statistician see?

Yes there are two outcomes of a nail being in the road. But if you are going around the corner at close to your max speed, and have no buffer that allows for changling your line, then EVEN if you spot the thing, you can do nothing about it. This means your chances (i.e. probability) of hitting it are increased compared to if you are going slow enough to spot it and take urgent manouvering action to avoid it.

The bigger your buffer, the better your chances of avoiding most of the accidents that are avoidable. Clearly if you are riding slowly in your lane through a gorge, and a piano fall out of a blue sky and wallops you, that is unavoidable. Although you might still slide less, and not go over a steep cliff... Lets face it, the less energy and forces being used, the less the chance of those forces being reacted back on your ass.
