But please continue to explain to me how your proper training and instruction is going to make someone aware of you on the road that isnt paying attention worth a ****. Im dying to hear it. 
Theres no topic of discussion that someone on this site cant seem to ruin or turn into a horrific internet trainwreck... |
OK Jackass, here is how training and skill work in this situation. The skill you would use here is called situational awareness, a skill I have been honing for the last 28 years I have ridden on the street. You take in your surroundings and expect the worst possible outcome then avoid it BEFORE it can happen. How do you do this without loud pipes you ask? Let me tell you. You don't ride in someone's blind spot. You switch lanes. Speed up. Slow down. Ride in the left hand or right hand portion of your lane depending on the need. You expect the unexpected. You expect the person coming the other way IS going to turn left in front of you even though their turn signal isn't on. You also have a horn at your disposal. The most important part is you must be vigilant! There is no such thing as a carefree ride. You need 100% attention 100% of the time.
