Tongue in the cheek ........ safe driver HUH?????
*avoiding traffic by effortlessly climbing over the centre island*
*make parking, *
I was more commenting on the public road speeding's , tracks racing, I understand.
As for
*very slim-to-none chance of people in a car getting seriously injured when a bike-car collision occurs.*
I agree that the biker will be more injured or dead, but the people in the car does not get off Scot free..even if they walk away with just a car that is now a write off....
I am talking post traumatic stress and guilt feelings if someone has died/paralyzed. Most likely they are facing reckless driving charges or man slaughter chargers if some one dies in an accident.
And then It may be the biker that has caused the accident by flying between cars and was not fast enough to prevent from slamming into a car that is crossing lanes.
Agreed. Last Friday night, Terrace Rd Edenvale (around the corner from me). 24 year old biker (actually bike rider as there is a difference), 16 yr old passanger, 3 18-20yr olds in a Hyundai I20... Rider dead, both passangers in car dead, bike passanger died this friday in Milpark Hospital. Car was on it's roof, bike was torn in 3! No-one knows what happened as driver of car in ICU, sedated. So I say slim to none, but not impossible for it to happen.
*Climbing over centre island*.. Not legal, but not dangerous either. Get stuck in a long line of traffic, check oppisite flow, when safe, cross the centre island and head back in the opposite direction. Obviously would not just drive into moving traffic.. Doing this is not "unsafe driving"... It only irritates the ones in there BMW's that can't do the same and must sit and wait!
*Making parking*.. Not unsafe by any means. Go to a busy shopping centre and no bays open. Many curbs and pavements that low front wheel drive cars can't get onto. All shopping centre's and their parking area's are private property so doing this is not illegal and definately not "unsafe" driving.
Among my business interests, I am in partnership with my father, we own a driving school... A very reputible national driving school that I can not mention the name of because you will all know which one - you have seen our vehicles and offices. I drive like I teach (exept for the centre island thing)...
