Rider Perception test

[msfchris]

18/20 on both... those are some pretty busy traffic situations there... a lot to look at!

20/20 on the signs. 17/20 on the situations. Situations are somewhat open to interpretation.

Before I took this test I never realized that an unused bicycle lane was a major hazzard, ha.

And if this was Vegas how come no hooker hazzards, drunk hazzards, suicidal because they lost the rent hazzards, or our house isn't worth half what we owe on it hazzards?

Keep in mind that Hardley riders take this test too...they are often passed by bicycles. I think the average FJR rider is safe.

Cool test. I got 17/20 on the signs and 19/20 on situations.

The first few pictures looked familiar so once they got the strip shot I knew it was Vegas. Didnt make it any easier though...

20/20

16/20

medium speed

 

[Thug]

20/20 and 17/20 and I'm not even from you're lovely country!

17/20 on the signs -- although the handicap sign one is wrong as that symbol is used for parking as well as facilities. The railroad crossing ahead vs railroad crossing one was a red herring, who cares?

18/20 on the situation test ... the one I missed (twice) was where there was a right hand turn detour with a bunch of pedestrians nearby. I incorrectly assumed the question had to do with making a right hand turn, since that would be actually challenging ... stating that a light could turn red and you could be trapped in the intersection if you're not paying attention should apply to every question with an intersection in it. :\

I got a 3/20 on the first one and a 2/20 on the second one. But I was text messaging when I took the tests... :glare:

 

[FJR-Voltron]

And if this was Vegas how come no hooker hazzards,

Just for clarification: Crack Hoe Hazards

I got a 3/20 on the first one and a 2/20 on the second one. But I was text messaging when I took the tests... :glare:

I almost choked on my drink as I was reading that!!!

19/20 on Collision Hazards (and I'd argue about that left turning Camaro vs. the van blocking 1/2 the intersection view); 20/20 on Warning Signs.

And I'm tired after a looong day. You want I should practice more?

Of course, we have to take these types of tests yearly at work.

Great link!

 

[copterchief]

20/20 on fast for the signs, 18/20 on medium for collision.

 

[Foxhuntr]

17 of 20 but I was distracted by the TV playing AMA Superbike races.

 

[N_Lindz]

Very cool, thanks for the link (18/20 and 19/20).

 

[Silver Penguin]

20/20 on the signs.

19/20 on the scenarios - but I'd argue my case on the one I got wrong!

But I have been practicing daily! Every time I ride, I'm watching for what could happen and what my escape strategy would be. I try to imagine what the dumbest, most irrational thing the drivers around me could possibly do, then be amazed when they exceed my expectations!

Beware my friends, they're all out to get us!

 

[BwanaDik]

We seem to be pretty consistant with 18/20ish averages. Any way to find out what the scores are from the "official" MSF course? That would be an interesting comparison

 

[Wee Willy]

20/20 signs & 18/20 situations. Las Vegas is a busy place.

Cheers,

[Bungie]

19/20 on signs (I've never seen a sign warning you of a sign ahead!)

18/20 on collisions.

 

[mattster31]

18/20 on the signs

14/20 on the collisions

I'm gonna get shmucked....................... :dribble:

 

[Fjroamer]

...try adding images in the side (rear view) mirrors to monitor as well (at high speed!)

...had a quick video test like that in advanced MSF class a while back.

Then add to that, riding in a group (prefer not to). Even more to pay attn. to :bigeyedsmiley:
