Bottom line you drive your car, cycle your bike, ride your motor cycles and I will do the same for what is safest for me at the time - I have a brain an access each situation for its merits. I just want to get home safely and without a head ache from other road users!

 

 

 

So:

 

 

 

1. In Switzerland I don't use a helmet - the fellow road users respect other road users and I feel safe. Been riding a bicycle for 27 years and in the past 15 have never caused myself injury!

 

 

 

2. If at a red robot in JHB at 2 in the morning in my car - I treat it as a stop street. I don't want to be hijacked and been from the Cape I do not know which areas are "safe"!

 

 

 

3. Often start riding ahead of a robot when it is about to change green - as I am normally out my saddle and thus using more of the road space - once again my safety.

 

 

 

4. If pissing with rain and cold, and I am out riding - not that often - I will tend to go through more robot than normal. Swine flu kills! I don't really want to get sick.

 

 

 

Just a few example of me putting my personnel safety above the general law!

 

 

 

Rules are for the guidance of wise men and for fools to follow! I really don't care how other react / think or feel as long as it is safest for myself.

Icycling makes fair points here.

 

Can I change my vote to fall in-line with the points made by Icycling? I will when I can, and I won't when I don't?

Tater, was it not your bum that gets sore from Roophies? As for sitting on the fence, I am not so sure about that, still undecided smiley4.gif.

 

I still agree with the principles of the poll. Practicality as suggested by the esteemed Icycling seems to make more sense to my little mind. And before any of you wise-crack artists react to that, yest it is the same puny size as everything I have (except by stomach).

I should add and putting nobody else in danger! My mistake.

 

 

 

If other road users also applied that rule of putting your personnel safety 1st while considering putting nobody elses safety in danger I can assure you their would be far few accidents be it car on car and their should never be any accidents involving car on bike! We all no bikes come off 2nd best.
