New crash study.

If everything I post is shit why do you waste your time responding?

To alert people (possibly newer folks to riding or to KB) that you are full of shit and an utter retarded cunt.

I am suprised you would waste your time making a coment on something that really is a "non issue" in the big scheme of things.

It wasn't a "non-issue" OAB went to the heart of the matter - and you've still got it wrong.

I called the guy the "organiser" because he was just one of a number of "instructors" but he was in overall charge of the whole day.

While it's possible some of your confusion could be my fault, I normally don't cause confusion with things I write until the vinho tinto kicks in. There's none of that until tomorrow night though.

Your comprehension skills need work.

Thanks for the heads up

So riding home today was a bit of a clusterfuck of bad drivers. One tried to pull in my lane, one just turned in front of me.

But what I have learned recently turns this into something I look for, part of observation. Another part of what we learn is observational links. I was riding past a soccer field, lots of kids playing in the field that was on my right and cars parked both sides of the road. I also noted some young kids running down the footpath on the righthand side. I decided to sit in the middle of the lane to split my risk in case a car moved or a kid ran out.

And a little fella raced across followed by a very upset Mum. Feck me it gives you a shock when it happens for real. Because I had planned for possible issue it was easy to stop. Thankfully no car was coming the other way. Car behind me had a panic stop. Mum scooped up the young fella, I would say he got a big tell off.

Would I have been able to stop without what I have learned, I guess probably. But it makes it far more controlled.

That's the only reason why I have bursts of activity in that area, to save the newer KB members/riders from following stupid advice.

Maybe we should have a poll on the one we no longer mention? Or maybe not, for it's got a predictable outcome...

While you believe your riding school training saved you the fact the car behind slamed on the brakes in time plus there was nothing coming the other way when you swerved to avoid the kid just means you got lucky. I got lucky in a similar situation some years back where I saw a tall girl standing in the middle of the road waiting for me to go past and then when I get up to where the girl is, a much shorter girl who I could not see due to the tall girl blocking my view of her decides to run out and she just stopped in the nick of time otherwise I would have hit her. Would going to a riding school have helped me see the little girl sooner no because the tall girl was blocking my view of her.

You read but you dont understand. I realize english is a second language to you but try to keep up.

[flashg]

Explain what I did not understand about your previous post or do you just think because I said you got lucky I did not understand your post?

I read it over and over, and he DIDN'T swerve. I don't see how luck had anything to do with it, he was totally aware of his surroundings, and acted accordingly. You just make shit up it seems. If you were speaking it would be called verbal diarrhea.
Something for you to ponder on.
Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
This might be past your comprehension skills though, but please try.

Was the mum hot?

Details lad, details.

That to me is the key outcome. Minimising surprises as best possible. Seeing everything play out before it does, planning any required action, and turning a potential major into another minor.

No, I didnt feel the need to expand on her looks IYKWIM.

If you read his post again he said he was lucky there was no traffic coming the other way and I take it thats the direction he swerved towards to avoid the kid. The other bit of luck he had was with the following car slaming on the brakes just in time.
There was another poster on here who called everyone who replied to my posts yesterday an idiot well that now includes you sport.

You really have trouble with comprehension. I didnt need to swerve because I had a riding plan. I had already worked out what to do.

I will call it mildly Advanced riding as I have not passed my tests yet, something that you clearly dont understand.

It's an important aspect

After all the one we no longer mention still isn't contributing anything intelligent...
