    I think OP should have said "can assure you i was driving to a very suitable manner for the perceived conditions".

    It comes down to hazard perception, some people have it, some people don't, there's nothing anybody can do about that.

    How many people see/dodge pot holes? How many people would notice the slight rainbow coloured effect of diesel down on the road surface? How many people understand and react to the "feel" of the car/vehicle, the level of grip and the tell tale feeling in the seat of your pants when the front/back lets go?

    Sure as hell most bikers do, but your average Jo driving to the shop in their living room on wheels? I strongly doubt it....

    Sounds like a biker there?

    It's amazing how you can smell diesel at 100 yards when you are on 2 wheels!

    Very true.
    The worst driver are those that claim to have it 100% though. Then there really is nothing anyone can do.

    Very true, just like people who think they are right 100% of the time!:D:D

    I agree with that at well.
