True or false? We are safer on unknown roads?
 
What do you all think? We tend to push it on the roads we know and take it easy/easier on those we don't know and perhaps focus a bit more.

I don't push it at all on the street.

I am the opposite, I'm safer on roads I know.

I don't know if we're actually safer on unknown roads, as the same unpredictable factors exist ( i.e. Unaware cagers)... But I can see where our riding might be more cautious and focused. As to whether that nets out to greater safety is hard to determine though. :shrug:

I'd say yes.

Depends on who you are. Me personally, I'm MUCH slower on unknown roads......but my buddy Brian was one to blaze a path though, even if he didn't know it all that well. Maybe at a SLIGHTLY less aggressive pace, but he didn't let an unknown road slow him down THAT much.

Ultimately that cost him his life

I think I'm over cautious on roads I don't know making it worse for me. I might be a little quicker on the known roads but I'm more relaxed which, for me, translates to clearer thinking, reacting differently, etc...

I'm equally as dangerous regardless...
