No excuses. If you did something wrong (bad) then take credit for it. Don't make excuses.

!No te vi!.....is excellent after you've just run head-on into the broad-side of a bus......


Also.....Be sure to scream.....!No Te Vi!....if media is present when you're being hauled off to jail......

Of course Norton but you can say: "it was not my fault"

Por supuesto Norton pero puedes decir: "no fue mi culpa"

One of the best ones I've heard, "I didn't think you were going that fast."

No habla.

No excuse amigo. An excuse is searching for a reason (or a lie) to shed blam from yourself amigo. If you do something wrong just own up to it and pay what is due ya. Dude, don't practice this in just biking but in every aspect of your life.

No excuses. I may explain what happened, but not make an excuse for what I did.
Ningunas excusas. Puedo explicar qué sucedió, pero no hacer una excusa para lo que lo hice

An excuse can make it worse. It's best to let things go at times to get on things.
Una excusa puede hacerlo peor. Es la mejor dejó cosas ir ocasionalmente a conseguir en cosas.

Amigo. Maybe you just don't tell the truth good. You know some people just don't lie good either. If you have integrity people will believe you. You have to earn that. First impressions are everything and if you start with an excuse (especially a made up one) you just lost any hope for integrity.

Now go out and ride, practice good riding manners and don't put yourself in a situation where you have to constantly defend yourself.

I heard that one from a women that hit our school bus. Big, Yellow, Flashing Red Lights, and a STOP sign hanging off the side, but couldn't see it because of the sun. Then left the scence.
