General riding in traffic

[Madmax]

You guys are picking up on the wrong part of what I said.
I said that what I do is tell them. I DIDN'T say that anyone else should do that.

What I DID say is that we, as a club should promote & practice good (not dangerous) riding habits.

Lane splitting is currently legal when the traffic is stopped. It is NOT legal when the traffic is moving & it is down right dangerous when the trafic is moving at or near the speed limit.

It's this type of riding that we should frown upon internally & openly NOT do it when on the road, so that idiots might eventually take notice.
The Busa is renowned as a "tough" bike. If the young ones see Busa riders ding the right thing then there's a good chance that they'll associate the Busa "toughness" with good riding habits & start to do that.
Hopefully.

I'm hearing you bloke, sorry if I misunderstood your point. I am seeing lotsa clowns doing red lights as if they don't exist. I was nearly taken out by a clown in a Taxi - I was however, watching said clown as he approached the intersection, no other traffic around. Dickhead clown actually accelerates through the intersect while my light had already turned green before he entered the intersection. After my light went green I followed him and had a conversation with him advising that I was going to the Police station to make a complaint. He just screamed shit at me, I didn't shake fists or act too angrily and i went to the Police and made a complaint. They suggested that I also contact the cab company and advise them - they (The Cab Company) took two demerit points off him and fined him $500. Still waiting for the police to get back to me.
The reason - I was so frustrated that he took no action to slow down accepting that as I was stopped I could or would not move into the intersection before he had traversed. I just decided to draw a line in the sand that morning (it was 5.20am) and make a compliant. Not to make a complaint when seeing something just so obvious would have been wrong, and had I followed my most earnest wish - ridden up to his window and slapped him in the jaw for nearly killing me, would have landed me in a cell, not a good place to be.
