That's exactly what I was thinking and that is so wrong.

A friend and I were talking about some mountain roads last night and the story about me playing catch up came up and even though that was 1998 when I first bought the ZX9 I thought about it again this morning when I read this.

If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?

I guess the UK courts automatically believe "Yes."

This is why we rarely stop in the canyons. On a 2-lane road in the mountains their radios won't work and we can just split between cars.

They usually won't chase, unless the cop is on a bike.
