Bikes in the Fast Lane: Canada: Smartphone App To Block Calls and SMS While Driving plus 2 more

• Canada: Smartphone App To Block Calls and SMS While Driving
• France: Anti-Reflective Armband Ad - FFMC Strikes Again
• Iraq: Motorcycle Squids

Canada: Smartphone App To Block Calls and SMS While Driving Posted: 30 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT Texting and making phone calls while driving is very dangerous. Dangerous for you, but then you control it, but it's also very dangerous for others. Reading that all important text from your BFF saying "LOL", entering that one letter in the SMS, or looking up a phone number to call, all while driving, means that you are not paying attention to the road and traffic. And that is when cars crash into motorcycles. The Quebec government in Canada have gone one step further to prevent people from doing it. They've developed an app (currently for Android only) called "Mode Conduite" that will block SMS (receiving and sending) and incoming phone calls while driving. It's not a simple button you push to say stop SMS and incoming calls. No.......... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

France: Anti-Reflective Armband Ad - FFMC Strikes Again Posted: 30 Oct 2012 05:00 AM PDT First the previous government wanted all motorcycle riders (even foreign ones riding into France) to wear reflective clothing. Then, under pressure after multiple protests, they toned it down to making us wear a 150 cm2 fluorescent armband (starting the 1st of January 2013). This law just adds to the stupidity of governments. Like a small armband will make any difference. The only bit that makes the difference is when you get caught without one... a €68 fine and 2 license points. To illustrate the stupidity, the French Association of Angry Bikers (FFMC) have released a print advertisement... I've translated the upper text, the rest is of no use.... ...

Iraq: Motorcycle Squids Posted: 29 Oct 2012 11:00 PM PDT You'll find squids riding motorcycles anywhere in the world, probably no exceptions, even in the most strictest country. So, no surprise to see some squids doing their thing in the streets of Baghdad. Like life is not dangerous enough for them in the country.... ...

• Darwinian Population Control

• MotoGP: This Photo Sums Up The 2012 Season

Darwinian Population Control Posted: 29 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT Is this the way nature tries to control the ever growing population? A Darwin approach to the strongest survives...? ...

Video: Why Hi-Viz Clothing Do Not Always Work Posted: 29 Oct 2012 05:00 AM PDT Here's a video of a nasty crash between a car and a very courageous motorcycle police man in The Netherlands. The motorcycle cop rides up to the right lane of a motorway to move cars to the left so that an upcoming ambulance can merge into traffic without a problem. Despite having very bright colored jacket and a strobe light, the car never saw the poor cop and ran right into him. Other cars (and truck) did see him and moved to the left lane, except one. The driver was not paying attention, so no matter what motorcycle jacket he would have had on, it would not have saved him. The cop was badly injured but did live. But it's a miracle. And he was "lucky" that he was escorting an ambulance who was able to give first aid. ...

MotoGP: This Photo Sums Up The 2012 Season Posted: 28 Oct 2012 11:00 PM PDT Despite being an enormous fan of MotoGP racing, it's a motorcycle sport that has been less than competitive for a couple of years now. Even Valentino Rossi has to admit the motorcycle race has become boring. All the artificial limitations imposed on the sport, penalties for riders who dare overtake, too many technical constraints, and not enough "showman" racers makes the sport more and more difficult to watch. It was great watching Jorge Lorenzo win the championship again, he deserved it. Seeing Casey Stoner win his home race as head-alien was cool as well. But if there's one photo that sums up the 2012 season, it's this one: ...

Here Is A Road Safety Feature I Will Sign Up For Posted: 26 Oct 2012 05:00 AM PDT Dutch design company Studio Roosengaarde and Hejimans Infrastructure are on the path of designing super smart highways. Highways that will have built-in icons that show drivers what the road conditions are (like icicles icons for when it's freezing - see photo below), lights that go on when there are vehicles (off when there are none) and electric car & motorcycle charging lanes. But the one thing I will sign up for is... .... glow in the dark lines on the roads........... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...
