As stated time and time again...I don't think the judicial system over-reacted in the case of the biker doing 166.Originally Posted by Scotty
The links you have posted up just show in those cases the judicial system were too soft...if you feel so strongly about those cases write to the Justice Secretary with your concerns and see if anything changes?
I like it because like me you’re basing your view on years of experience...Your experiences shape your perception of things...However your views are purely based on the limited number of experiences you have had...that creates a bias for your views.Originally Posted by Scotty
Like you say on racetracks there is less things for you to hit, as they are made as safe as possible...allowing the chance of a better outcome should you crash....On the road like you have also said, there is much more going on...which is exactly what I and everyone else has been saying hence 166 in a 60 isn't really doing your odd's any favours should you crash...Regardless of how clear you think the road is/looks at the time.
...and to me even when your off the bike sliding up the road that's still the crash taking place...laws of momentum dictate the induced force is reduced if the time the impact takes place is increased...i.e. you don't crash instantly into something hard...A point clearly outlined by Ducatista
Having the right gear helps, but it doesn't make you bulletproof/invincible...again it's just anonther way of increasing your chances of survival, like other things such as advanced riding, bike technology etc.
Finally, you will have to blame Bill Gates for the spelling/grammar, word checks all my posts before they come online, and pointed out to me that you spelt “puntuate” wrong it should be punctuate.
You’ve lost this argument already quit before you dig yourself any deeper.
