Road toll - Police stupid obsession blaming speed

[Woodman]

Dogs can actually move quite fast did you know? The dog breed known as Greyhouds are actually used for racing did you know? Unless it happens to you I guess you will never believe dogs can run faster than it takes you time to brake/swerve or power away.

Did you speed up when you first saw the dog?

[Akzle]

you guys are just fucking masochists.

don't engage (it's pointless)
if you really must say something: call it a fuckwit.

move on with your lives. hope it dies horribly.

[Akzle]

That was not the dog crash situation I was in as it was the dog that accelerated into my path and not the other way around. What does your ridng school teach you about how to handle a situation where a dog could run into your path?

you're a fuckwit

Its just luck. Some others have comented on here that going to riding school will not make you bullet proof against the screwups of others and in such an instance its bad luck or would you say they went to the wrong school or did not pay attention in class?

you're a fuckwit

Ever heard of shit happening before you have the time to do anything? I bet not and I bet your riding school would never believe shit could happen so fast too.

you're a fuckwit

It improves your luck but only if you do a centre line hug to get as far from it when it pulls out as you can.

you're a fuckwit

Or into the bus by placing false trust that you you have been seen by the driver.

I ride with a finger over my brake too but did not need to go to riding school to learn that experience taught me instead. I have only riden a bike in Auckland on holiday once years ago.

so you managed to run over 4 greyhounds? nice to see you've added "or power away" to your previously binary options. a shame you're still a fuckwit and think they're all under the umbrella of luck.

you're a fuckwit

Ignore them and take NO avoiding action. 99% of the time they merely try to scare you away from THEIR tertritory. The last 1% of dogs are suicidal ... so its pretty much up to YOUR bad luck if you meet one of those.

You go where you look ... so don't look at them. Do not try to kick them as you'll probably break your ankle (even in steel toe-cap boots)... or a few toes.

There is a Bulldog down the road I have tried to use as a kicker, in the trials sense, a couple of times. They can change direction faster than you would think.

Just maybe ... they're just smart enough to figure out common sense actions to everyday issues. AND ... Intelligence to see issues arising before they become a problem. THEN take actions to avoid it in time.

If you kick out at them ... all it achieves is to upset (badly) your own balance.

So, officially the end of this tripe

No, no. Trials. I've tried to wheelie off it. Fat little bugger can turn on a sixpence.
I learned not to kick dogs when I was a kid on a push bike. Never ended well.

[FJRider]

They actually teach you how to see things that could/might turn bad if you don't take steps to avoid it. Ignore those signs and it will go shitty ... really fucking mind blowing fast.

They are very much aware how fast a situation can develop ... but the "wise" ones that have not done any rider training ... seem to have the most problem dealing with it.

Funny that ...

[FJRider]

Because ... Next to the center-line is the safest part of the road at ALL times ... right .. ???

If you ride a big powerful "get fucked" sports bike like a Honda CB750 ... you can ALWAYS power out of EVERY dangerous situation that somebody ELSE has created for you ... right ... ???

[AllanB]

I just don't understand your inability to believe any form of training may assist you in the future. Surely you apply some form of formal training/teaching in the rest of your life that has positive results.

There must have been a bad incident with a teacher when you were young .....

No one has ever stated that doing a riding training course will make you all seeing and all knowing, but it is highly likely that you will learn something that your will apply each time you ride.

How bad would that be?

[FJRider]

Or into the bus by placing false trust that you you have been seen by the driver.

Don't TRUST anybody.

The issue is NOT "Have they SEEN you" ... it is NOT changing their intention to pull out in front of you ... usually believing they have time ... and trusting
(assuming) YOU will take action to avoid hitting THEM (and they are in a hurry). Even if it means YOU running off the road.

[FJRider]

I guess I must have a lot more confidence in my riding ability than others on here to not need to go to riding school.

That does more to show stupidity than intelligence ... but keep it up ... you'll die soon anyway.

Truer words were never spoken, how you can have any confidence after the myriad of hounds mown down is beyond us...
