Lifetime ban, when riding like that …….
I rode with some complete lunatics when I was younger and anyone of us could have become a statistic but the youngest and best rider of all of us lost his life at 23 when riding in a Nottingham suburb filtering.
It definitely altered my road riding and made me more track focused.
Done plenty of stupid shit as a young man in my 20s riding large capacity bikes but when you are undertaking and overtaking racing your mate at 140mph plus you are heading fast toward being a statistic dont even mention the low IQ retards that actualy record themselves.. in my opinion commuting is by far the most dangerous riding now with every Guinness on a fone or playing with a 16" led screen in the middle of the dash
Yeah, illegal to touch a phone while driving but the widescreen TV is fine
The cars of today have never been safer for the occupants inside and never more dangerous for everyone else outside. So much distracting crap is built into them your attention is divided between multitudes of different demands, while the interior has turned the driver into a passenger wrapped in a warm infotainment bubble of personal space instead of the operator of a machine they're supposed to be in control of at all times. Modern road design makes things worse, bristling with road furniture, warning signs and cameras competing for your attention.
Clarkson was right back in the day: if everyone drove Ford Anglias with cross-ply tyres, drum brakes, no seat belts and a sharpened spike in the middle of the steering wheel, there'd be fewer accidents as drivers would be shitting themselves and concentrating 100% on the job in hand.
