I got pulled over for the slight swerve for the smidsy too. It sucked cop was more of a a*s that time but still no ticket. I would do it exactly the same if I had to do it over.
Back to the topic at hand... How do you train yourself to NOT fixate?
For me on the track it's focus. Even after being bumped, rubbed, passed closely, ect.. I am totally focused on my next reference point. At this point I have bailed to the grass 3 times to avoid a rider/bike go down directly in front of me at track speed. The other 7 or so times a rider has gone down in front of me has been uneventful, a slight countersteer to alter line and ride as normal.
For the street I kinda find myself falling back to what worked for me in the dirt while riding through the forest. That log, that branch, that rut will all put me down. I see it, react, find an escape and visually lock onto it and ride on. I find the street very similar, so many uncontrolled factors...
What do riders do without that dirt experience?
