General riding in traffic

[Louwai]

My best recommendation is that if you feel so strongly about what they have done - record their number plate and report it to the Police - that's really what they are there for, and be prepared to attend Court to make your allegation in an open court where the Magistrate will determine guilt and penalty.
If you continue to tell people what not to do in the traffic, it can only end in tears.
Every day we see drivers behaving badly doing some really dangerous and even dumb shit. Stay the hell out of their way and count your blessings you saw rather than experienced the fruit of their misdemeanors.

Not shooting holes in you mate, this is free advise, use it as you like or dislike.

I hear you Max,
But really, what do the coppers do in that situation. They listen, put the ph down & say to themselves, "another idiot with a personal grudge trying to get someone in trouble".
The only time I've seen the cops act on a ph call about a poorly controlled vehicle is when there are multiple complaint calls where it is obvious that the vehicle is doing something pretty bad.

Most of the things we see every day are dangerous, but it's considered "normal".
How many f***kers do you see blow red lights every day. It's considered "normal" for many people.
How many do you see on the ph every day. Again, most drivers under 25 think it's fine, dandy & normal to talk or text while the're driving.

If we sit back & worry about someone having a go at us for telling them THEY are doing something wrong, we will be forever controlled by fear.

I suppose what I'm trying to get across is;
If we as a club promote & practice good riding habits, it will very slowly spread, & hopefully the young L platers will see & copy more good riding than bad.

This thread was really about showing the learners good riding habits, not bad.


Footnote;
Almost everyone that I have told that their brake lights don't work, have thanked me cause they didn't know.
Only 1 guy did not & thet was cause he couldn't speak English & had not flamin idea what i was talking about.
