The fact is YOU are in charge of your own destiny. YOU have to ride accordingly, not only for yourself, but for everyone and everything else. If you do not you could term it rider error.
"wer'nt local riders that I would consider knew the road very well." You can fall into a trap of false security here. You should be able to stop in the safe distance you can see, regardless of what road you are on!
"does that take into account allowing oncoming drivers to cut the corner causing motorcyclists to take avoiding action" You would not be suprised to know the word 'suddenly' appears in the majority of RTC statements. That particular hazard didnt just drop there from outer space, the signs are there. Act rather than react!
"And what other circumstances were involved, mud, gravel, very poor roads, potholes." again, observation links will give clues to reduce your speed.
"So your riding at speed.....120mph short spert............ clear plenty of vision..............and a speed camera van, 12 month ban + £600 fine"
Hmm,...so clear vision, what were you looking at then not to see the van? The faster you go the further ahead you need to look, and the more you need to scan back and forth!
I know it maybe not what you want to hear.  |
