[QUOTE="boardsNbikes, post: 109228, member: 404"] The CHP officer was on a BMW 1150RT. That last time I checked, those are motorcycles :D I understand the theory and reason for the law behind the thinking to "be vigilent and be ready and able to avoid all obstacles" but how many compounding obstacles should be considered when on public roadways? Should I be vigilent enough to avoid a parked car in a blind turn, pedestrians in the roadway, a speeding 10-ton truck in opposing traffic and crossing the double-yellow line with sandstone mountain on the inside and a steep ravine with corresponding drop on the outside of the turn? What's the appropriate speed on any roadway to handle any combination of risks? 5mph? 8mph? Should I creep across every green light because there [B]might[/B] be cross-traffic that will ignore its red light? When does it end? I suppose the poor sods who drove off 100 foot tall highway interconnections during the Northridge earthquake deserve tickets too. At that point, I should just soak in my tub and rest but crap, statistically that's dangerous too. In any case, the law is objectively written but must be subjectively interpreted. [/QUOTE]
