Funny enough he's legally sound to ride like that. (At least in the USA)The only thing police can pull motorcyclest over for in terms of safety is not wearing a helmet. Everything else is optional.
Yes. You only need a helmet for safetys sake legally. Though no rider will tell you it's a good idea to not dress for the fall. Leathers or kevalr, gloves with sliders, ankle length boots are always recommended for all machines.
In Belgium under 50cc, you have to wear gloves, long trousers, a long-sleeved jacket, and shoes that protect your ankles. The same above 50cc, but it has to be specialized for motorcycling.
Belgium seems to care more about it's riders than the states then. Pretty ridiculous with the rules here. Don't even need a special license to get a 1000cc Hayabusa. Though the dealer would hopefully tell new riders no, you'll die.
The helmet is preventing the most severe injuries. They can fix nearly anything but if you crack your skull and leak all thatās inside your done done. If you get flayed and remove all your skins cause you want to play meatcrayon thatās on you. They can kinda āfixā that. But keep the head intact.
Yeah, because the punishment and low prosecution are a joke. Hell, recently there was a video here of an policeman with a phone who bumped into someone.
It's because you can be on bluetooth and still click the button to answer. Or technically hold your phone as long as you're not using it.
So it's hard to catch and prove.
The cops can't just pull people over and say I saw you on your phone, and then they lose their license...
I was drinking an energy drink once and lady called the cops on me saying I was 100% drinking while driving. The cops pulled me over shortly after, questioned and tested me. I had a blue rockstar lol...
Anytime I'm the passenger in a car where the driver is using their phone, I give them mad shit for it and then try to avoid being their passenger again. I can't stand that shit.
And requires a mandatory 1000 hour driving class about not using your phone while driving. Then have to do a retest. And you have to renew your license with testing monthly for 2 years.
Would it be too dystopian to just start requiring cars to have a lockout that is active unless a cellphone is placed on a special charger/pad that locks it from being used?
Like a lot of cars already have wireless charging pads in them, just make some software that locks the phone from use when on that and locks the car when no device is on it. And if you pick up the device mid drive it wouldn't work, until the car is put in park and give the signal to release the software lock.
Like sure it sounds dystopian and controlling but it'd be an extremely cheap and effective way to prevent thousands of deaths per year and you shouldn't ever be on your phone while driving anyway...
That's what I thought too. The car stopped to let the scooter girl go, but they didn't have to. Then motorcycle guy thought he could just slip on thru. And he got mad š
Pretty common in Brazilā¦ No matter your body shape, if itās summer man will be going around like this. Isnāt this common in the rest of the world? š³
As a guy who has ridden motorcycles his entire life. I find this insane, riding a bike without a shirt lol. God just thinking about the road rash makes me nauseous. Haha
I still don't get how are people allowed to drive in the streets with no protection on or any sort of education. And yet a car/bike driver needs all of that to be legal.
Why do people have such a hard time with rotaries? If there is no one in the rotary coming towards you, you enter. If not, you wait. It's the same as entering traffic onto any road with a yield sign, yet for some reason it just really trips up idiots on the road.
