I don't buy this though:
"*if you do [endanger anyone], be ready to accept the consequences, and take responsibility for your action or inaction..."
*I don't think it's enough to accept the consequences and take responsibility, after something terrible may have happened. The way it's worded implies that only the rider is affected in the end.
I do believe that many people are safe enough with careful riding and skid-stopping alone, but I also believe that too many inexperienced copycats will continue to emerge.
