It appears as if almost everyone gets over confident, unless educated by extensive (yet very entertaining) factual series like back then the German TV-serial "Der 7. Sinn". It contributed immensely to reasonable and considerate mentality in traffic. (Inspite of conditions having eroded somewhat since, for one due to such medial education not having been boradcasted anymore since decades, on the other hand due to increased traffic participation by mentality from overseas.) Thus, death toll being around 3000 heads per year there while here in a Middle eastern country with comparable number of population, yet 6 times less of vehicles and 5 times greater geographical space at hand, last time I checked death toll was 124 000 deads. (Highest traffic death toll world-wide.) Expressing not only entire lack of knowledge about subjective and true skills and actual whereabouts of driving physics and impact of collision etc., but a totally selfish mentality. ('Me first! Who cares about the others', etc.) - Having participated in a special course on motorbike riding in Germany (after about ten years of practice at that time) I can only emphasize that such teaching is invaluable. You get taught things you could hardly ever discover on your own. Coming out from it light years away from the skills one had before. Highly recommended; especially when driving a heavy machine! Having said that: Never ever would I ride a bike here. And yeah, I have seen a number of dead riders in the local streets. Let alone, almost always ones with zero of protecting clothing. They have no clue about asphalts abrasive characteristics when you whistle over it. It rasps you down to the bone. Without leather and lots of fitness / knowing how to fall back then (before the course) me wouldn´t be the same today, if alive at all. What you learn in driving school (including large scale procedure like in Germany) isn´t enough. And at least info like in "Der 7. Sinn" counts a lot. Me therefore contacted local government, among other things suggesting to obtain such serial, overdub and air it. But they had no English skills in the president´s office. Bummer. [8D]
