    I am a better rider than you but have insurance.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

With IAM, Roadcraft is the standard for mentoring riders towards taking their formal Advanced Roadcraft Test.

    enjoyed that, thanks for sharing.

    If you go to Norfolk County Council's website, you'll find a few more of their publications...
    Have downloaded their other publications in this series... have had a quick skim through them... well worth reading.

    Well, that's a disappointment. I'd have thought that you'd have been ideally suited
    to writing chapters on "How Sh$% Happens" and "How to Get Lucky".

    Just as well that I have a few motorcycling books to read.

    Now that's a book by itself.

    Could be a picture book as well, before and after photos.

    by "Happy Go Lucky" sounds like a real name

    It'd be more akin to this

    nah,
    The poster said it was:
    -not enough distance
    -not able to speed, except through pedestrian or school crossings
    -too many obstacles, dogs, reversing vehicles
    -people don't understand ACC and how it is supposed to work
    -too many claims by other at fault road users
    -cant be bothered
    -I am in the legal right of way - what can go wrong, sue those other posters.
    -I am never at fault - how could I be?
    -I am one eyed
    -I am too old to need it
    -I am too old to get it
    -I am too old and experienced
    -I am just plain lucky when shit strikes
    -there is punctuation and sentences, so I can't run off at the mouth
    -I am too tall, I can see everything on my adventure bike
    -I can see it all, but shit still happens I can't avoid it.
    -I found I couldn't sue the dog
    -I sued the dog owner, and the dog was put down, so yeah the dog was at fault.
    -NZTA at fault because they built one way bridges
    -the weather was at fault, I don’t need to consider it.
    -my observational skills are above all others
    -i don’t need to plan for what others are doing, I am right
    -I would make a really good dictator look bad
    -I forget other people make mistookes and other people have to deal with them, not me
    -I ignore those things I cannot answer
    -I have seen one group ride, so they must all be the same, right again!

    perhaps I should get a boat? Or a plane out a here.
    to Australia, they don’t have dogs, they have dingos or aussies.
    the poster hasn't referenced who was at fault in the CHCH earthquakes? shit happens I guess?
