I just realized that when im angry or irritated, id speed when i ride. Sometimes not even realizing it, id hit 150. And when im sad, id just ride really slow and my mind tend to wander off. I've learnt a few things when riding a bike.

1. Check blind spots are the most important rule in riding. Accidents occur mainly due to faulty bikes or failure to check blind spots, NOT cause of speeding.
2. Speed only when your at an expressway since there wont be any cars suddenly 'popping' out from the side road. Oh and also check for TP when speeding. You wont wanna get fine and demerits.
3. Wear a jacket during rainy seasons or if your going out till late at night. Unless you have 10 kg of fats stored in your body, you wont wanna shiver all the way home. Its really tiring. Rain drops may be nice but at 100km/h, they become little needles constantly poking you. Painful indeed.

4. Never tailgate. Especially behind a taxi. They just wanna earn the extra cash by putting you in an accident.

5. If a car is tailgating you when your riding slow, fuck it. Ride slower. That'll piss em off. Not unless your in the first lane of the expressway, then its best you get your slow ass bike to the second lane.

6. If a mat revs his bike besides you at a traffic light, act like your gonna take up that challenge then just observe him accelerate so fast that he forgot he just wasted more of his fuel. If your feeling devilish, just take him on.

7.Slow down at a traffic light no matter what. You never know when the traffic light is gonna change to amber and you gotta jam break just so that you wont go over the line. Dont burn off your brake pad for nothing.

8.Never push your bike too far unless you want to taste the asphalt and damage your bike or even kill yourself.

9. Dont take corners like your on a race track. Nobody's gonna see and say 'wow' after you made a perfect turn but laugh if you fall down. Also you never know if theres is something on the bend. Even a small branch can flick up your front wheel. It happened to me once.

10. Enjoy riding. Its way better then public transport.

Yeah so thats mainly what ive learnt through experience. I hope this would help to any fellow riders out there. To ride safe at all times. I cant deny once in awhile you have that feeling in you that just wanna burn some rubber. The faster you go the better it feels. When that happens, think about your loved ones. It'll help.
