It provides an incentive to take a course, or simply provides a reduction in the experience required (4 months of riding) because of the focused practice of a course)

I'm glad it helped. Nothing will be more effective than a desire to learn, and practical experience to continually improve. Every ride is a practice session.

You don't.

Yep. So "Months one can ride a motorcycle in GTA"? All the ones with 28 days. Some are just WAAAYY more fun and with WAAAYYYY more riding days ;)

I don't buy that argument at all. Forcillo tried to use that explanation and failed, because it simply wasn't true. That doesn't set a precedent that no other individual can ever legitimately be threatened. The NYC case previously cited has already supported Griff's view.

there is a clear distinction between "advocating violence" and "I would do what's necessary to protect my family if I felt threatened" There have been some great solutions offered to someone being swarmed and threatened: Just keep driving Throw it in reverse Call 911. Call 911 is perfect -...

Not that he needs my help, or even needs to defend his own statement - but Griff said nothing about the number of people doing or defending these actions, so it doesn't matter if it's 1 in 20 or 1 in a million - he just said the ones doing it "were the worst". He also didn't assume anything...

C'mon, you were impressed at how fast he was!

There have been a couple people say it already - and some great examples of special situations that are definite exceptions. If you're riding a street bike, unless you're on a really unstable surface, your feet should probably be on the pegs. Since the question was about proper/improper...

. "almost".... You heard it here first, folks...Fart cans save lives! we need helmet stickers.

..."almost"....but you didn't. You heard it hear first, folks. Fart cans save lives.

There is ample precedent for insurance payouts on such a claim - but it's still insurance coverage, not direct tax dollars. It indirectly comes out of our pockets as it would whether the OPs insurance covered it or the City's insurance covered it. A raccoon on the road wouldn't be the fault of...

Not necessarily a sharp angle - but a sharp, deliberate movement.

Simplest way to think about "riding on streetcar tracks"? Is "don't ride on streetcar tracks." I'm not deliberately being a smarta$$ - People talk about crossing at the greatest angle possible, or at as close as possible to 90 degrees, which encourages "swerving" to cross tracks that are...

Yeah, I've heard that millions of times.

Yeah, that's me! No, not really. That was just one of those times where I did what I could, and just had to relax and wait. That picture was well into the "relaxing and waiting" time. I had shade, I had my phone, and I have CAA. To make it better, the driver took me to work so I wasn't all...

Well done! Great research, thorough analysis, and you documented your sources! One of the things I think the professional associations do in FAVOUR of the individuals is provide a layer of insulation from the law. I was reviewing the history of a lawyer that had been reprimanded, including...

Several posters have already "slightly" or "somewhat" disagreed, while recognizing Nick's points. I'm in the same camp. Instead of "aggressive", I describe it as "assertive". When I talk about interactions with other road users, it's about communicating clearly. The only way we have to...

To ensure that I'm right, I like to say "many people say there are two types of riders...." Whether they're correct or not doesn't matter. And I know I can be, but not all of us instructors are coarse.

AhA! Saw the pic on facebook - at least you're walking! Mark
