Police getting tougher on speed tolerance

[russd7]

Hmmmmm that's a good point.

Did the high number of MC deaths last year make me change my riding? I'm saying 'NO' .

However a number of threads over 2018 on KB about riding distances, remembering to look well head, and not getting caught up in the 'rush' of the ride made me think to the point I made some changes for the better.

so therefor the high rate of death did have an impact simply because these discussions were/are had because of those deaths.

if everything was cruising along without anything negative happening then these conversations would not be happening and you would not have deliberately changed your habits.

just a thought

If you have NO control of whats at your back ... having mirrors is pointless ... right .. ???

Another stupid comment. I assume from your comments you never look in your mirrors when changing lanes or passing? What a dick. Maybe cars should have no mirrors too. What a twat

[FJRider]

Now that depends how advanced your riding is.

When did you last do a course?

For what it's worth ... I do have mirrors ... and I do use them. Use of your mirrors has nothing to do with how "Advanced" your riding is ... stupid decisions are made if you don't have good information. Sometimes ... to control the vehicles behind ... you let them in front. Easier to watch too ...

I ask stupid questions to get reply's ... but YOUR actions depend on you getting information. Rear mirrors do provide information. Ignore them at your peril.

If you are of the opinion ... one's riding ability is based on the number of courses you've done ... good for you. Are you hoping you've done more than me ... ???

Wrong, about 60% of riders do it to themselves.

Close in all accident including single vehicle accidents it 53% is but when its multi vehicles its only 34%.

I got another reply from you ... No comments other than the personal ... I guess you're one of those sort.

And it may surprise you to know ... most cars have more than one mirror. But the drivers only (usually) use one. Guess which one ... ??

And stop believing every post you read is fact. (even mine .. )

[husaberg]

Perhaps you need more convincing statistics ... one's that were not compiled to confirm a set agenda ... by set organisations ...

And ... please tell me how those statistics you posted/quoted ... CHANGED your riding style/habits ... or what changes you will make in light of those statistics ...

There is no agenda in the statistics they are numbers.
The numbers tell a story you dont like so you ignore them.
My habits have always been risk adverse on the road treat all car drivers as if they havent seen you and you are not often surprised.
I need my licence for work so all my ego polishing is done on the dirt bike or a circuit.

Only going by known and stated statistics in the usual places.

However ... what are the statistics on unreported accidents ... we know they happen ...

You didnt answer the question.

Nothing personal here. Just don't like people talking crap. Reminds me of the one who should not be mentioned

That would depend on whomever it was that compiled those numbers. Look more closely at that in future ... and 14% of last years road deaths is not 14. REAL numbers gets peoples attention.

The stat's are people too. People that are now dead. Look closer at the stats ... and who/how and why the were compiled.

Look for what they didn't mention. And why ...

Hmmm interesting, I see what you did there, and I can't say you are wrong. And the KB conversations were started due to death headlines in the media.

So we have Known statistics verse your vague opinion pulled out of your bottom.
I know which one will be shit.

Neither did you ... and you changed the subject as well ...

As I recall ... non injury accidents are required by law to be reported within seven days (injury accidents within 24 hours) ... did you report ALL yours .. on or off the road .. ???

Accidents cannot be recorded if they're not reported.

If not reported ... reported figures cannot be correct.

if you bothered to read the stats you wouldn't be asking silly questions that are answered in the stats.
i wouldn't trust your memory a few posts ago you claimed to have read the report but then ask silly questions that are clearly covered in the reports content.
