NCC1701A Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Obviously this section of road is haunted. Does not take much critical thinking to come to that conclusion. I mean, what else could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP young lad regards Worgeordie The problem is that the dead can't learn and too many of the living believe that accidents such as this only happen to other people.

mercman24 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 too fast on a scooter, no road sense /training more like , a trained rider will know if you look at the piece of road in front instead of looking round the bend, that is where you wil end up, (its a mental thing), that was not much of a bend at all a 80 mph at least on a big bike ha ha, next time you see a photo of a bike racer you will see his eyes focused on the exit (or round) the corner, not what is in front of him.

Som Nom Na. the concept of 'undertaking' only applies over in the UK, Europe etc In LOS, one can overtake other vehcles on their Left, or to the Right on those multi line behemoth roads. You are simply going faster in your lane, than soemeone else is doing in his lane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
