Explain then how someone can be taught to see around bends? One of my not at fault accidents was such an accident. Even if I did have the ability like you to see around bends it would have been little use in my situation as I was coming to the end of a one way bridge and there was nowhere to swerve anyway.

You're still missing the point. I'm merely using the vanishing point to judge correct speed, so as to not out ride my stopping distance. Not looking around the bend, merely the vanishing point. Don't get what that means? Try a Rideforever course, it's basic stuff.

Its impossible to plan for the potential screwups of others as they are the ones that set the distance and speed from you when they screw up and both can vary widely despite the common belief on here that there will always be time to avoid them. You said some weeks back on here you gave up group riding due to the screwups of others in your group. You could very well apply the same thinking to other motorists in general and give up riding completely as a result of their behaviour too could you not?

Not planning for the screw-ups of others is relying on lady luck. You've been talked to about hazard awareness, you just don't want to open your mind. Try a Rideforever course, it's basic as stuff, but it'll enlarge your awareness.

Do nothing to prevent it ... by not actively LOOKING for potential issues ... effectively means YOU let it happen.

Even I don't claim to ALWAYS have time to avoid them ... but usually time to reduce the severity of them.

Yeah well, it's that simple isn't it? But we're back to that open mind thing again aye? If one can open their mind to the possibility another road user may make a move, or an error as it may be, we can avoid the worst of it. Except cassina

Think on this ... if you gave way to the oncoming vehicle ... the accident would not have happened. Thus ... your accident was totally preventable.

AND YOU ARE A FUCKWIT for letting it happen ...

You mean to say one may consider yielding the right of way in a self preservation approach? Oh heck, never! But yep, you've more or less summed it up. But yet again, it requires a modicum of hazard awareness, absent in cassina it seems.

In the news today. Three motorcycles involved in an accident. NO mention of any other (types of) vehicles ...

If you ride around (blind) corners at such a speed you cannot stop ... within the clear distance of roadway ahead ... you are riding dangerously.

But you probably still think it wasn't your fault if you crashed.

The advised speed limit is only in regard to sharpness of the corner. Not an indication of visibility/safety through the turn.

In other words ... slow down.

Damn, they must'd been riding under pressure!

[FJRider]

Damn, they must'd been riding under pressure!

Actually ... you might be closer to the truth than you think ..

[FJRider]

Yes totally preventable if the muppet that hit me had given way.

So ... your brakes didn't work because you had right of way ... ??

The Waiau bridge is 600 meters long. How long was the one YOU crashed on ... ??? and did you see that car coming .. ???

Totally preventable if YOU stayed at home. The KB consensus may even recommend it ...

Which muppet are you ??? I'm guessing miss piggy ...

[nzspokes]

As I recall ... he was exiting the Waiau bridge in north Canterbury when a car entered the bridge without checking/giving way for oncoming traffic. TOTALLY preventable.

Whats the visibility like over it? Never been there.

Wasn't too good last time I went, it was raining cats and dogs though...

[FJRider]

You are the fuckwit as there is no way to give way on a one way bridge unless you can jump off or fly.

Don't enter one if the way isn't clear.

At the end he crashed ...

Lad's, please. It's neva gunna learn, doesn't want too, thinks you're all debating with it, meanwhile she's having a big shag thinking people on KB might like IT!
For Gaw'ds sake stop, let it die on the vine/road.

The way was clear the muppet came around a bend at the end when I was near the end (his end not my end). You are deluded if you think there is a one size fits all to avoid the screw ups of others. It will take an accident that is the fault of someone else where you run out of time if they offer you any, to get away before you will understand

ONE solution to stop ALL your fuckups ... stay off the fucking road ...
