    That goes straight into the top 3 most dangerous posts ever.

    What tricky situations will applying a lot of power help you get out of said tricky situations?

    Also passing isn't a tricky situation.

    Have you not been left behind and had to wait ages in the line for your organic free range soy milk trim latte because you only had 50 HP?
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    And I thought that I'd seen it all. But there is obviously no limit to your stupidity.
    And your latest post has provided yet more evidence.

    So, as you ride into a zone where a car may well pull out on you (moving across
    and blocking your lane as it turns) - and where likelihood of collision increases
    as you get ever closer, you think (?) :

    1. That without having braked much earlier (but simply positioning to the right
    hand side of your lane), there will still be enough space and time to allow you
    to avoid a collision ;

    2. That with a "bit of luck", you will somehow be able to "power away from them"
    (as they move laterally across in front of you).


    There is a very good reason why a certified rider training school would never teach
    its students such a response.

    The only words of value in your post were the last ones (" don't try it").

    Perhaps you would now be so good as to add a tagline to your KB profile, reading
    something like:

    Cassina : Clearly illustrating the difference between certified and certifiable.

    Passing non school busses as you never know if they are going to pull out during your overtake.

    You must only ride/drive on remote country roads if you do not see overtaking as being tricky? If you read the article posted in this thread it says about how dangerous overtaking can be. Many people die each year getting overtakes wrong and if overtaking was as easy as you experience no one would die would they?
    Please nobody take this fuckwits advice.

    If road is wet then why are you not being more cautious, especially approaching a traffic light control intersection when the lights have been in your favour for some time? They are bound to change - Sodd's Law - so check for following traffic and be prepared, like a Boy Scout.

    As for "lose it", news for you - think you might have lost it some time ago...

    Do you know the correct speed to pass a school bus that has stopped to board or alight children?

    What's so difficult about easing off the throttle and letting the bus go first?
