Rule #1: there is no spoon.
If you can plan a crash on a busy highway do you mind telling me the Lotto 649 numbers for the upcoming draw?

So true. I remind myself the big wide saddlebags will clip a car and I will have a very quick but gruesome death 0_0
Learn to pass a bunch of cars on a race track mid corner and you won't crash on a highway in real life because you'll see the idiots who can't drive before they see you and react (either evasive or defensively.)
Hell, join me on iRacing, ACC, or even F1 20xx and you'll see what I mean when you take out half the track on turn one lol
EDIT: Why is it a common Westerner thing to focus on politics and how much an individual can control when the same mindset, when applied to a far more controlled situation like driving, results in ppl throwing their hands up to fate? There is far more chaos in politics. How does this not cause cognitive dissonance explosion?

You do know that makes zero sense right? The highway/roads aren't racetracks…race school and more importantly, video games, do not teach you how to avoid exploding truck tires, debris in the road, random potholes, cars on the wrong side of the line, and texting drivers in real life. You have also not evolved with 360 degree vision. Pretty sure we have had this conversation multiple times on here with multiple people.
I would argue that 407 with some foresight and the right time of day has minimal effect on safety at 220 instead of 120. You have lots of empty lanes around you, good sight lines, minimal stationary obstacles, you could slow down to pass vehicles, etc. Animals can always be an issue, speed makes a collision with a deer worse. Now, it would be boring to go 220 on the 407 but I don't believe you have increased the danger greatly.
Always gotta stick that little veiled racist nugget in there.
I used to be **** hot on team fortress classic. I’m going to advertise my services in Soldier of Fortune Magazine. I’m really ****** I missed out on that head of state coup thing in Haiti.
the prevailing normal speed on much of the 401 is above 140km/h...even when you threaten to take people's cars they still travel at that speed because even when its a bit busy, it is safe to go that speed much of the time...
going 180 periodically on a motorcycle with a powerful engine and brakes to make your way through cars, while really inadvisable from a legal standpoint, isn't unsafe or unethical if you're comfortable doing it
the solution to granny-style outrage is to learn how to ride your bike, not to wish others didn't know how to ride theirs
No idea what the 407 is like now, but when I was taking it to work in the mornings years ago if you were doing 140, you better not have been in the passing lane. I was definitely not the rabbit, either.
But he said 401. 407 is a completely different beast. When I do 140 on 401 I’m usually the fastest car.No idea what the 407 is like now, but when I was taking it to work in the mornings years ago if you were doing 140, you better not have been in the passing lane.

we have this example on the 401 a few days ago in Scarborough
lets for fun, apply today's learnings about freeway riding
root cause was:
rider comfortable?
yes, was seen travelling at a high rate of speed and weaving through cars, not his fault
engine power?
see above, not the root cause
brakes?
they're gone, so I think we're onto something
the brakes were the root cause
GTAM is a source of endless learnings

I never understood riding a motorcycle on the 401 to begin with. Whole highway is a death trap, including the Death Valley Parkway (DVP). Soon as I get on my bike I get the furthest away from population as possible. It's crazy the riders just trying to drag knees on the on and off ramps and lane splitting all the way down to Younge street for fun.
I had Lego when I was a kid. Gonna see if I can get a job designing condos in Florida. I feel I'm qualified.
