True Bobs but primary position on road still only gives you a foot or so at 30mph to see someone step from the gaps betwixt a parked car or off a bus. You can slow down rapidly but then have to assume the driver behind you will do the same and then you also assume that this is in the best possible conditions rather than an icy evening.

Of course I have a brake. Brakeless on the roads is mental and yes you should be able to stop safely and have an awareness of hazards that are present and those that should be expected. No training I can think of is going to help when on a dark night some dunce steps out a metre in front on you while you are doing 30mph in a stream of traffic in the primary position. They wont step into a stream of cars because they know they will get hurt but stepping in front of me doesnt really matter because I wont break both their legs and then their spine.
I'll just slide off my bike and the car travelling behind me will most likely drive over me.
Common courtesy however prevents me chastising said dunce does it?

I agree with Ada. Stopping from 30 to 0 in 10ft on skinny wheels in the pissing rain is no mean feat.
If you step out in front of me and are close enough for me to reach you then I think I should be entitled to slap your arse and call you a dunce.
I dont expect cars to swerve and stop for me why should pedestrians expect me to do that for them?

You'd have to get a visa Scoot, points system like Aus, points for degrees, cars per family, deck shoes,length of driveway, points deducted for scars, regional accents and time spent living away from home.
