So many accidents already.

Much of what you described could be done on your own. Go to an empty parking lot and practice what you learned on the course. You can use the lines as guides.

Yes and I do practice it from time to time. At the same time, I know a few riders who are talking about it but never dedicated time to it. So I was thinking that some social event with the education aspect can help a lot of people to go out and practice basics without thinking that it will be boring.

Sorry but I agree with one of the posters here. Its YOUR responsibility as a rider to take every precaution available every day to keep yourself as safe as possible.

Wear your gear. Every time. So what if it's hot out? They make good mesh gear. Wear white or hi viz. Instead of going into all the ways and means to try to lower your risk,its been covered over and over...

Its UP TO YOU!!!

Nobody else. You must assume that car will cut you off/ turn in front/ hadn't seen you ect ect,the list goes on.

When a car driver does something that's hazardous to me I don't give them the finger or shake my fist. I say to myself...I effed up, I should have anticipated...fill in the blank.

With few exceptions most "accidents" can be avoided. But it's easier for riders to "blame the cager".

Very very few riders ha ve this attitude though. Mostly the old timers with many years and many miles under their belt and probably of a " certain age".

It's TRUE,with age comes wisdom.

Be safe out there.
