Road toll - Police stupid obsession blaming speed

[AllanB]

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.

I've not done one for many years but I am not adverse to doing one and expect that I'll learn several things that will be of benefit to me. I should bloody sign up for a refresher to get rid of those bad habbits I have no doubt picked up.....

You don't believe you could learn something?

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude; without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.

I am fortunite enough to not have any bad habbits and if I did I would end up falling off as a result of my own fault and not others. If I did have a fall as a result of my own fault though I would be able unlike some others on here to self analyse where I went wrong.

Of course you have some bad riding habbits. Ones that don't make you fall off, but may ultimately result in grief. Following too close for example.
Not wearing correct protection (how many riders have you see in CHCH lately in T-shirts, sans gloves...)

Little things.

Speeding up when you see a bus in front of you that you don't know will pull out or not is a bad habit.

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.

no i'm pretty sure it was born an inconsequential menial shitkicker and will die as one too.

The example I gave of a bus pulling out is one of them and I did not need to go to riding school to know that.

you're a fuckwit

If another party is at fault you would be just as likely to die as me as its them that controls the speed and distance from you when they screw up.

Can we replace "bad" with one of the following: dumb, dangerous, or daft...

clueless, moronic, halfwitted.

Death or injury is not reliant of the other party being at fault.

If you don't screw up ... you will be fine. You control your speed. You decide where you place yourself on the road ... so put yourself in the right place on the road. If you prang ... it wasn't the right place at all and learn from that.

Without proper training ... learning can be expensive and painful.

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.

LOL you are full of bullshit. What breeds were the dogs you slaughtered?

Im heavily involved in dog rescue so know a wee bit about pouches.

Again you are full of utter bullshit.

And you are too much of a coward to be tested.

Oh, a game!

Trolling, fake, dyslexic.

NZ Spokes. Do you use the pouches to carry the rescued dogs?

But dogs are small, much smaller than horses, so they must be much less than 1 horsepower. Your bike has many horsepowers, so you should have no trouble out accelerating a dog. Simple physics.

[granstar]

But did you know greyhouds are used for racing, did ya?

clueless, moronic, halfwitted.

half?
you must be feeling generous.

giz a turn on your missus eh?
