Pitternator, where the *foc* did I say that? Oh, that's right, I didn't. Why don't you go back and read what I actually *wrote* rather than what you smugly seem to assume I wrote?
Quote:The issue of sticking to a speed limit shows you have restraint , something very important for inexperienced riders to master if they want to avoid riding into situations which can rapidly exceed their abilities.
And I don't disagree with that in the slightest... *when* it is appropriate! Sure, sticking to (or below) 30 and 40 limits is sensible. Sure, inexperienced riders (and even, or especially experienced one) should exercise due restraint, again *WHEN* it is appropriate.
Yes, fine, get safe first, I don't disagree with that either, but once you've got that message and increased your experience, then you'll find that what you can do *safely* increases.
