You have to be predictable and hold your lines. You're not racing. A big thing I've seen is noobs kinda late-apexing a corner and coming close to hitting others on the right line. If you're wide, stay wide. Don't shoot in in hopes to catch the apex at the last second. Decreasing radius corners exempt. You can assume a person will swing it in late in a decreasing radius.

This post is the exact reason why inside passing is not allowed for certain groups.

Not sure I quite understand what you're getting at? There's rules/regulations for a lot of things, but they still happen.

I whole heartedly agree that you should hold your line... but your line may be different than someone else's and you should ride accordingly and with a healthy safety margin.

Keep in mind we're talking about noobs in the noob group. Taking inappropriate lines happens a lot in that group.
