    That cop was an idiot to park his bike in the middle of a lane like that. There was no way any vehicle behind the truck could see him, and as the video shows even once he could be seen, there was nowhere for the following vehicles to go.

    Once again, we motorcyclists must take resposibility for their own safety and never assume that Hi Vis will make us safe.
    Time to ride

    Safety is a state of mind we have ... when tucked up in bed. Everywhere else is dangerous


    And people die in bed too ...

    I think all it proves is that you can't see what you're not looking at.
