Stay in your lane!
« on: December 07, 2011, 09:40:36 AM »
The number one cause of accidents on mountaim roads is crossing the yellow line.  Here's an example!  Pic was found on Facebook and was supposedly taken on Deals Gap.

That pic also shows why a good helmet (gear) is a must!

Looks like he needed tighter boots/shoes.  Left one's already off.

Following other riders I've noticed that even when their tires are on their side of the double yellow, there upper body is way over it, as they lean into an inside curve.  And in on an inside curve, if the vehicle coming at you is over the line even just a few inches......it's already to late. :nixweiss:

In this case it could have even been target fixation.

Unfortunately it happens frequently all over the country. That above photo looks like the ones posted on killboy.com , he has many photos of accidents or near accidents. He also criticizes anyone who he photos over the yellow even with no accident.

It also happens the other way.  I was riding in Arkansas and as I was going into a left curve, a cage driver over shot the curve from the other direction and came over into my lane forcing me into a rock wall.  12 surgerys and three less fingers later, I still ride!!  SOB didn't even stop!!!

If that picture were in Australia, the truck would then be on the wrong side of the road.  He was asking that tongue in cheek....so to speak.
