Location, Location, Location...

 

After getting sick of cars hogging lanes, indicating late, breaking suddenly, booting it in a straight line then slowing to walking pace around corners you will no doubt want somewhere to give it a little. The safest and most dangerous locations are often found in the same place. By 'safe' I refer to 'minimal police presence' and by dangerous I mean little or no room for error (at higher speeds).

To make life a little easier I've made this table for my three favourite locations.

Location

Please note this is Australia so if you're riding at night beware of nocturnal animals such as possums and domestic/wild cats.
