It's terrible how people manage, it seems that they do not care the rest of those who are mobilized by the city, whether pedestrians or drivers of other vehicles. The play bus drivers racing against time to impose, however, this causes them to forget that handle a large-sized vehicle passenger and over crowded, especially during peak hours. Cab drivers are desperate to get customers. Motorists are mad to come early to work. And the bikers to arrive on time to deliver their parcels, or arrive on time to their jobs if they use a bike as a transport vehicle so as not to travel by public transport.
few months ago, tired of waiting for groups that did not arrive in time to stop and come over to see them crowded subway and that each therefore had any problems and formations were canceled or delayed, as happened more often with the train, I decided buy a motorcycle. It is an economical all in all, ideal for round trips to the center of the city without much fear that some "street worker" try to make it their own. It really is a fascinating experience not having to go dealing with public transport and many of its users. I passed back and neck pains that commonly have, surely the product of stressful travel back and forth to work and at home respectively. These trips became tortuous rides "pleasure" one hour a day that helps me clear my head, glad to get to work and free my mind after a routine day to finally arrive home happy.
're probably wondering why I wrote "pleasure" in quotes. The problem is that while, as I wrote above, now I take trips and tours, there were other glitches, such as the fear of possible accidents on the streets because of unconscious have no respect for anyone, people who set their clock to the lives of others and to themselves. Obviously, as a pedestrian also had the possibility, the difference is that the pedestrian is at very low speed and usually not near the vehicle travels, the bike instead of the traffic ways.
About a month that I started driving, I found myself immersed in a traffic jam, then discovered that it is one of the worst situations for those who travel by motorcycle. Motorists weary of moving slowly due to the large number of cars, taxis and collective, made sharp and sudden movements in search of a gap that allows them to move even a few meters. This type of driver behavior, led me to have my first motorcycle accident, a driver, tired of not moving forward, decided to suddenly turn at the intersection on which he was, turning sharply to the left and not looking in the mirror, unfortunately I driving on the left and no time to react, I ended up hitting the car and falling to the floor behind it .
Then just a few days ago, circulating in the lane to the right of cyclists, was enclosed by a bus driver with circulating large-sized vehicle on the right of the lane that I occupied, who, without caring , turned left at the intersection. Luckily this time I was more cautious and folded along with it. Obviously I said anything but nice, but the driver said that if I ran I was going to walk on and that it had happened because he had put the turn signal. These people really should not have driving record and less to carry passengers!
then look at some numbers: Dead in Argentina during 2010
you also leave some considerations in order to avoid accidents: Click here
primarily Humility: Self-Assessment Survey drivers and aggressive driving
Important: Braking Distances:
do not need to be doing calculations with a scientific calculator in hand to see if we are very close to the vehicle ahead of us. You just have to keep in mind that you must have a time of at least 2 seconds between the car you drive and the one in front, in case of driving on wet roads, this time should be doubled, ie it must be 4 seconds.
The magic formula is to look at some reference point when it is at the height of the rear bumper of the vehicle that precedes us, there must be 2 seconds (as I said, with dry road, but must be duplicated), it is best to say quiet way, the following sentence: "1941, 1940 and two. "After the sentence, the reference point should reach the front bumper of the vehicle we drive, or better yet, has not arrived. If you pass the landmark before you finish the sentence, means that is too close to the vehicle ahead, which means that if the vehicle is something wrong and should stop at once, will not stop and the outcome of the story is that we will suffer an accident, causing damage to ourselves and others .
