The Main Problem Here is

That the Orange MPV is

Turning Right...

That's normally gives the opp car An OK signal to turn into you

The Key Is in the Vanishing Point

 

- Where the 2 side of the Road visually meets.

 

This Point can help u determine your speed.

Your Turn in.

And your Roll on.

 

It also gives you direction and approx. distance u should

Point your Head & Eyes for directional control.

 

The Rule Of The Day is...

 

U should be able to execute a emergency stop before u reach the vanishing Point!

Will He Turn Into your Path?

 

Even if he has his signal on...

... Make sure He Knows U are Coming...

Flash your Lites or Sound your Horn if u need to!

 

As for Us... We have to Me Absolutely Sure He is NOT Turning!

May even need to Slow down or Stop to let him thru...

 

It's Your Survival!

We Will Have To Reduce Our Risk... slow down... Move with Caution...

Enemies around...

 

...Sometimes it is just like a battle ground out there...

...they are all trying to Kill Us... With or Without intention...

 

SO Put on your full Battle Order... & Look out for the Enemies!

 

Could be the Ah chek/auntie or Tai Tai, taxi. lori at the Next Junction...

Cabal.. Try A Very Loud Horn... Eg. Double Air Horn...

Only $15 for 2. They will pull back thinking You are a Big Lorry!

(available at AutoBac near Jurong Kechil Rd...)

Most of the Time... They honestly did not see U.

Sometime They Choose to Ignore U... (He is Bigger than U Attitude)

 

I had a car cutting into my path despite me horning several times...

Causing me to slow down drastically to avoid hitting him.

 

There was a Highway Patrol Car Behind me that saw the whole incident...

The police went ahead & pulled the car over!

That would be dangerous driving?

 

Yeah for the Guys-In-Blue!

 

*Most Importantly... Just prepare to let the Car Thru'

Swerving May be Necessary to avoid a Particular Emergency

A "QUICK SWERVE" May be the only way to avoid collision!

 

Counter Steering is the Best way to get Around Objects.

 

HOW TO:

 

At Slow Spd... U push Left Handgrip to go Right...

 

At High Speed..

U push RightHandgrip to go Right!

When u do it, the bike will lean right

 

Pass the Object... straighten up & do the Opposite.

 

U may need to brake & steer at the same time...

Slowing down gives u more control.

 

Use Very little rear Brakes. Rear wheel tend to skid in sharp turns.

 

STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE!

Or u risk being hit by another vehicle.

 

I Been Taught to Use my knee to kick the bike on the Left to go Right!

It Works! Try It!

(some uses body wt. transfer... works too)

Go practice by avoiding white arrows on the Ground...

...Remember, Keep to your lane!

Practice This technic By Riding Fast over a Speed Bump...

(u will feel very much in control of the Bike -

your suspension will just eat up the Bump)

 

Crz the North-South Highway:

Note The Bumps Crossing Bridges(that pan over roads)

Same Technic... only Higher Speed!

 

Be aware that there are Bikes that drop cos' they loose control over these bumps.

Know the Statistic... Don't Be ONE!

[mengster]

scanning thru the stuff ... great work !

 

not sure if u have posted it but ... very impt ... never assume.

 

never assume people will notice u, never assume people will give u the right of way, never assume anything !

 

if u ride/drive like u are anticipating an accident (to happen to u, not caused by u), i'm sure u'd take much more precaution

Regarding to obstacles...

once on nsh, i came across a pothole n too late to avoid.

went thru it n handle bar shaking lik hell..

luckily i manage to recover back..

any1 with advise on how to take control back a shaking handle bar??

lik clutch in or hold handle bar straight or wat?

[Throttle]

i dont think that there's a real solution to your case Ravon...

 

definitely not clutching in for sure....

 

 

slowing down is the best general option for regaining compusure and external disturbances in your example.

Potholes on the NSH? Do you mean uneven roads? I have been up the NSH quite a few times and so far, never seen any potholes except for horribly uneven roads at some parts, but most of the way, it smooth sailing.

 

However, there's once, nearing the Sungai Besi toll, there was a trailer tire, yes a trailer tire, a huge one, right in the middle of the road! No way to go above that. Guess thats when counter-steering comes into play.
