Best we start up-skilling then and taking the responsibility of LOOKING upon our own shoulders.
If we don't, I can almost guarantee it won't be long till we're compelled to dress in day-glo.

After reading the " Albany ACC Checkpoint thread " i fear it may already be too late.

Yep, all those years of crying "waaaaaa, they didn't see me" are coming back to bite us in the arse.

I completely agree. It's our own responsibility to ride defensively and anticipate as best we can rather than just assume nothing will happen.
All we can control is our own actions, behaviour and skill level.
Sheep mind control has as yet eluded me.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that quote was originally attributed to what to do if the tail went wide in a skid situation. Still applies too.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

That's how I learnt it too bro. It's less effort to twist the throttle further than it is, to back it off and then go for the brake.I thought it went 'If in doubt, GAS IT!'

The instructions are simple...
It's almost a given, if you are in that situation. Back off - and something's gonna break.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

It mostly refers to situations where you're the one making the decision to move or not (sitting at a give way or deciding whether to take a corner at a great rate of knots for example). If you have any doubt about the manouvre don't do it.I thought it went 'If in doubt, GAS IT!'
Certainly on a bike gassing it can sometimes be the better option when someone is about to cross your path when they shouldn't depending on the timing.

Well one thing is certain. Indecision sure has killed a lot of people.
If you're in the shit, whether you're gonna brake, gas it, or lean the fucker over as hard as you can and try and steer around it - do it IMMEDIATELY, or suffer the consequences.
So when you're in doubt - make your mind up FAST.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration…
