It is true that only you can control your actions, but part of riding is developing a sense of what people are going to do, reading car "body" language, etc etc. No one is talking down to anyone here unless they're being flat stupid.
I expected to get a lot of flak about getting the FZR here, but ended up getting the sort of responses that I would expect from a good parent, etc etc, and when I got into my wreck, same thing. "What could you have done differently?" That sort of thing. It's nice though - just shows that the members here care and want you to learn from any possible mistakes and live longer. They aren't insulting your skill - just prompting you to look further into the situation.
