RE: [ST] Pass switch



The pass switch is a pretty useless piece of equipment in this part of the world. A 1000dcb hooter might work, maybe........

Most box drivers have the mirror set so that they can apply makeup/ dredge for bogies/ admire themselves on their cell phone/ whatever else takes their fancy. If it is facing the right way they never look into it, they are too busy waiting for a gap so that they can suicidally dart into the next line without using their indicators.

The chances of one noticing a bike even exists is remote. 

You have to be pretty sharp to survive lane splitting - I doubt there are too many places in the world where drivers are as useless at basic road courtesy to motorcycles as here in Cape Town, South Africa.

Any biker who goes through an intersection on the green, without checking that some fool isn't jumping the red light, isn't going to last long on two wheels.

On the plus side we have 1000's of kms of scenic, winding, fast paved roads with not a speed trap in sight.


cheers
