Title: Blind Corners can hurt Post by: Darren lynch on September 25, 2011, 12,53:29 PM Another member down
Had a bad phone call late today Ray Boekelag , one of new members of the club had a head on With another rider up at labertouche late today. And they were both taken to hospital. So what’s with all the head on accidents at the moment? Frankie and Gary ,Seano and now Ray, is it time to go out and put white lines down the centre of each track and maybe glue some cats eyes down the centre of the track for Pete’s night ride at MT Dissa. I have always heard of the night mare of having a head on so can all of you take some extra care until all the tracks are reopened after cup weekend and the bikes are spread out a little more.

I got overtaken a lot by riders on the wrong side of the track and watched them cut blind corners. The problem is rider behavior. Riders are too focased on speed, forgetting that we ride on public roads.
Buying all the epirbs, satalite phones or radios is great, but none of it will prevent these accidents. I also don't beleive it's just bad luck. Many of these kind of accidents happen after a series of events or mistakes. KEEP LEFT PEOPLE!

It scares me when someone overtakes me on a blind corner.Buying all the epirbs, satalite phones or radios is great, but none of it will prevent these accidents.
