Left turn system in Israel
So I’m dropping one more thing which is more unique to our country (I think) but at the same time feels much safer than the regular system in most countries. While in most of the countries you need to turn left while there is oncoming traffic is moving as well on the opposite side, and you need to wait until you can go, we have a dedicated traffic lights for left turns which goes green only when the oncoming traffic from opposite side has red light. There are junctions which the left turns on both sides is green, so only left turn is permitted at the duration of it, and the forward traffic is halted. We are prohibited to turn right on red lights, but we do have a dedicated right turn lanes on most places which you can go without waiting for a traffic light, but you must give pedestrians the right to cross in case there are any, and you must yield for the merging lane to be free as well. I’ve added a photo for each scenario to visualize it for you guys :) Let me know if this system sounds safer for you, or just annoying 😆

For those interested, I filed a lawsuit against the drivers’ insurance company for third-party damages (me). Fast forward to the end of the lawsuit, the judge determined that I am at 70% fault, while the other driver is 30%. I had predicted this outcome. In any case, the insurance company has paid 30% of the value of my bike and gears. Now, the amusing part begins. The insurance company calls me and informs me that I owe them approximately $1,500, because I am at 70% fault and must pay their expenses. However, there’s a twist. At the hearing, both the driver’s father (the insurance is under his name) and the insurance representative claimed that they did not receive an appraisal for the car’s damages and sold it a while ago, not long after the accident. They also stated that the damages are almost exclusively to the license plate, which is supported by the video and an image of the car after the accident. In short, it feels like they are trying to deceive me. And more importantly, please ride safely!

Reviewing my rides
I finally installed a camera on my second helmet, which I’ve been using since my primary one broke in a crash. I’ve been reviewing my rides daily, and I’ve noticed several minor mistakes, except for my tendency to ride a bit too fast. For instance, I often perform an outside-inside-outside maneuver even in blind corners, which almost puts me in the path of oncoming cars. However, I didn’t even realize how close I was to them while riding. As @Daniel Tolomei suggests, it’s important to ride center-center-center when going into corners for optimal and safe positioning. Anyway, my main point is that having a camera and reviewing your rides is a fantastic way to learn how to ride safer and smarter.

40 and Noob
40yo new rider from luxembourg. Upgraded from 125cc to 400cc and crashed the bike and my knee within a month. Back on the 125cc and calmly accepting this is maybe good enough for now
