So why aren't they?

Ride on the basis that car drivers can't see you and, if they can, that they want to kill you. That will see you riding in a much better space than wearing something shamefully coloured orange or lime.

There are a lot of car drivers that get away with doing silly things on the road often enough ... they think they always will(should)

[Hitcher]

they think they always will(should)

There's a good reason for that. It's because they do get away with things. Even if a motorist kills somebody, that doesn't automatically revoke their right to drive ever again. Drunk drivers are able to reoffend, even the three-strikes law doesn't apply to them. Why is that?

Perhaps trains should also wear fluoro vests.

Salmon would be quite becoming don't you think?

The driving laws are only applicable to licenced drivers ... therefore unlicenced drivers are free to do as they choose ...

Whats the worst that you can do to them ... take their licence off them ... ???

Oh WAIT ...

Apparently, and rarely permanently. For goodness sake, they may need to get themselves to work or drop the kids at school.

FFS - if I'm heading towards you on my Harley about all you will see is the front of the bike, my headlight and my helmet. You sure as hell won't be able to pick the co our of my bike or see much of me even if I'm wearing fluros.

Motorcycling is dangerous ...

Ffs you cant say that on here the home of "mentors and experts".For all the mentors and experts ive seen nothing to show me that surviving to an oldish age on 2 wheels has nothing to do with either, ie be lucky enough to live through a few good offs (no matter whos fault) and chances are you will learn and live.Far to simple it seems for many to understand.

Yea but lets be realistic all things considered there will be plenty of time to get out of your way eh.

No idea where its based mate,Black V-rod/night rod or whatever there called,ignorant cunts the pair of them anyway,every time the road straightened out ape boy would take off ahead of fat boy then come the smell of a kink in the road on with the picsEven the Mrs was having a laugh.She just said "if we didnt have to be home by a certain time it might have been fun to just kick back and follow the pair of them awhile".

Gee and people say car drivers aren't observant, i think you'll find 99% of trains in NZ the loco is painted bright yellow on the front, and back as are most of the passenger units. They also have Modulated Lights at running board height that flash when the horn is activated.

Go figure eh,then again down here we dont ride along train tracks so the chances of meeting one head on are slight.Seems you do so much respect on your observational skills.ride safe.
