As someone living in a city centre in the UK, I’ll be honest that the biggest issue when riding in traffic can be other riders. Filtering is legal here (no speed stated) so it’s always important to look out for less considerate riders trying to blitz through traffic or riders with less awareness as I’ve been cut off so many times now by riders who just check mirrors for a car and don’t turn their heads. Yeah I’ve had plenty of cars blatantly push into my lane but I’m of the view that in traffic it’s my duty for my security, some cars won’t notice you even if they see you but if you just sit there and defend your position righteously you could be right but it won’t make the bump hurt any less. Ps hitting mirrors is a little b*tch move 100% of the time
2:48 counting seconds sart at 0, if you count from one to two that's only one second
I know this sounds terrible but I just got on the road for the first time in nearly a decade.. motorcycle or car... and I am on a motorcycle... and my primary goal is to get there and back in one piece wherever there may be, does not matter. Anyway, I was massively out of practice in terms of mirror usage and or shoulder checks ect.. but being that my primary goal is to get back, the only real way to do that is to use your mirrors as much as is possible and shoulder check to be sure.. having an awareness of what might happen given certain positions and or just where you line up at the lights can be very important... its something I think about whenever I am rolling up to one... and active down-shifting so I am always in the right gear...
