It takes a lot less time to think about it I you have an exit strategy.
But for the purposes of the above hypothetical. Assuming you have 100m to spare when you see them cross the line.
Do you carry on as off nothing is happening?
Or do you take action just in case?
Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.
You have to expect it to happen before you can take action. You have two response systems built into your brain. Type 1 is heuristic and builds its responses from the sum of your experience. If your experience does not include vehicles crossing the centre-line you get referred to type 2 which has two modes. Fight or flight or rationalising a response. One of which is random and driven by your endocrine system and the other of which is too slow to deal with an emergency.
Postulating scenarios and practising responses is either compulsory or you simply go, "meh, I trust everyone".
Your approach to every discussion I've seen you enter leaves you relying on a Type 2 response IMO, because I've never seen you postulate anything except never going around corners and always following the road rules. You're the sort of rider for whom the unexpected can be fatal because you're expecting to think your way out of a problem. You never have time to do that. If your baseline skills and mental practice aren't able to sustain the demands of an emergency you'll fail to negotiate it.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
You have the same retarded rationale of a christian. Blind faith. You have zero proof the other driver is competent, impaired or distracted. Thousands of drivers every year are convicted of drink driving, dangerous driving, unlicensed etc..... And you trust them to think clearly and not break road rules..... Yet I bet you witness another road user breaking the road code every 2 minutes on the road.... Still trust them though, because god exists too.
