    Which would simply make them the other persons fault.

    If you drove like anyone in the video you wouldn't be able to get a drivers license to start with.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    The point of training is to not drive or ride like the 'others' and put innocent bystanders at risk. Training is not just about avoidance of dangers, its also about improving your owb skills to be not a danger for others 'cause humans are not born drivers or riders. Heck, humans can't even walk or go to toilet as babies without training.

    Some riders require training because they are not casi-fucking-nna the Lord Almighty of motorcycling.

    All developing countries go thru a learning curve, some steeper than others.

    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    Appears someone was out on a bender! (the tyres look pretty bald and tatty too but it's the land of the free - anything was possible!)

    So you are happy for a new rider to put everyone else's life around at the same risk of death as themselves? Rather than go through proper training and learning as a mitigation for undue risk exposure? You are more illogical than I had thought originally.

    Yes. We can see the sun shining. Some of us like to learn from others before we put ourselves in a place where we learn from a mishap or mistake. Some of us think that maybe we still have something to learn that might benefit us in some way.
