A Personal Challenge Video

I needed to check myself. I needed to see if I could ride my bike once without speeding or breaking any laws. It may have been too short of a ride to be a proper judge, I may need to change this into a solid day challenge where no speeding is allowed. Guess you could say this is a very atypical R1 video ...

Can you pick out any laws broken?

Keep right except to pass. One of my biggest pet peeves. You got passed on the right. Not sure if it's a law there, but I've found it's one of the laws that most people don't realize is actually a law, not a courtesy.

i agree to this except when the guy in front of you in the fast lane is going slower than everyone else, then what do you do?

Good point, 5 min penalty coming my way.

On highways I'm religious about that one myself, but for the most part I'm not used to people passing me ...

. There was a reason for this video.

I actually prefer using the hand for signals, I find people are more likely to notice a moving body part as opposed to a signal light.

This is the bird (2:57), if you do watch this video I wasn't in a good mood this day, just finished a fight with the ex-wife before going for a ride and I'm kinda driving like an ahole.

So true and have almost gotten in trouble with both of those when angry. Let me rethink that, guess I should say the letter has burned me before. The one that has helped me a few times now is "I'll quit tomorrow" never in the heat of the moment.
