Wore full gear and managed to go through this with just some pain and a few scratches

My wife truly enjoys riding in the cage behind me throughout the week and weekend whenever she can along with my 3 year old daughter who absolutely loves it. Man have I embraced riding. It’s incredible that when I first purchased the bike, I thought it will be along time before I hit 1,000 mile Get my first oil change. I’m 400 miles in and when I don’t get to ride, all I think about is riding 😂

So I’m dropping one more thing which is more unique to our country (I think) but at the same time feels much safer than the regular system in most countries. While in most of the countries you need to turn left while there is oncoming traffic is moving as well on the opposite side, and you need to wait until you can go, we have a dedicated traffic lights for left turns which goes green only when the oncoming traffic from opposite side has red light. There are junctions which the left turns on both sides is green, so only left turn is permitted at the duration of it, and the forward traffic is halted. We are prohibited to turn right on red lights, but we do have a dedicated right turn lanes on most places which you can go without waiting for a traffic light, but you must give pedestrians the right to cross in case there are any, and you must yield for the merging lane to be free as well. I’ve added a photo for each scenario to visualize it for you guys :) Let me know if this system sounds safer for you, or just annoying 😆

I finally installed a camera on my second helmet, which I’ve been using since my primary one broke in a crash. I’ve been reviewing my rides daily, and I’ve noticed several minor mistakes, except for my tendency to ride a bit too fast. For instance, I often perform an outside-inside-outside maneuver even in blind corners, which almost puts me in the path of oncoming cars. However, I didn’t even realize how close I was to them while riding. As @Daniel Tolomei suggests, it’s important to ride center-center-center when going into corners for optimal and safe positioning. Anyway, my main point is that having a camera and reviewing your rides is a fantastic way to learn how to ride safer and smarter.

Getting my A license next week! Gonna be easy now that im doing my best SMART Rider, and practicing the cone drills.
