I was down at DMV to get a friend's bike inspected just now.  The
man said, "Drive up to the yellow line and hit the *REAR* brake
hard."  I didn't feel like fighting authority today, so I did.

Then I asked, "Why the rear?  The front brake is so much more
powerful."  To which he replied, "Well, if you hit the front
brake too hard, you're gonna go over the handle bar."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

If Motor Vehicle Officialdom still believes in an old wives'
tale like that, then it's no wonder that bikers aren't getting
quality Rider's Ed.
