Dfensive driving, particularly on a bike is an absolute must. Find someone local and do a course. Or talk to those who've had a bit of training like above.
Assume the worst can happen and might.
make sure you have an escape route.
Don't commit to something where there's no alternative.
How often have you been on a road ride and have someone go around a corner, right on the limit? No account of the fact there may be a dead roo on the road, or a pot hole etc. You only have to be around walking speed on the dirt verge to fall off.
Track days, drag racing are the ways to lessen the risk and probably live longer.
We've had a few accidents here this year with bikes, but I hate to say it, most are the riders fault. Single vehicle, hitting guard rails. Overtaking and hit a centre median strip, lost control on a corner...the list goes on. Sure, something like the start of the thread is totally unacceptable, male or female driver, 2WD or 4WD (oh, I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara, and a Golf GTI and the Busa!)
Lets all be here after Xmas to start slagging off at one another and sledging eh?
Copper/Silver are the best too!
