because of the maneuverability and great acceleration of motorcycles, i think the drivers need to have a greater responsibility. It's much easier to divert or slow a motorcycle than it is a car. Also in a car, you have a barrier around you so your field of view can often be obstructed. Whereas on a motorcycle, you have a better ability to see, in otherwords, you are empowered more to be a DEFENSIVE driver..........i trust no one on the freeway, and yes the prick who pulled out in front of you should have used a signal, seen you,waited and/or made up his mind whether was turning or not......so i wasn't trying to say you were at fault for his idiocy..... cyclists.....in SF they have a day every year where they bombard the roads to remind car drivers of their existence, they shut down traffic and some of them are a nuisance to pedestrians and drivers. I think if cyclists want to be respected on the roads, they need to adhere to the same rules, otherwise it's every man for himself. I see cyclists run stop signs, red lights and cruise up the wrong way on a one way street all the time. There are good cyclists as well who follow the rules of traffic too, don't get me wrong. Same for pedestrians, a pedestrian has a better field of view, the ability of a human to stop on a dime couldn't be anymore literal. If someone is jaywalking and they get hit. Their fault. A car just doesn't have the ability to stop, physics prevent it, no matter how good of a driver you are.......that human should have the brains to look and avoid autos, especially when they are jaywalking..... Cars are an institution, they are not going away. Those who bike, cycle, skooter, walk or whatever seem to have this superiority thing........thats fine if you think your method is better, but expecting the all mighty automobile to stop on a dime becasue a biker just cut three lines and all of sudden is in your blind spot passing you on the lines is silly. I dunno, i am just a really defensive driver. I stay away from anyone on the roads when at all possible. I predict and assume that asshole WILL pull out in front of me, brakes and horn covered...i think as a biker it so unsafe to cruise between lanes, i don't know how they do it. I would be expecting everycar to change lanes on me...I had a friend who got side swiped for this very reason. He was cruising BETWEEN the lanes, now i dunno if you were or not, but it just seems as often as people change lanes A) either without looking or B) they look the best they can but you were just coming to fast, a biker would just avoid it all together and stay in the lanes... i'm sorry and i realize how you interpreted it, and i like you so I don't want you to take what i said the wrong way, my wiords were independent of YOUR experience. i don't think you deserved anything.....i don't know the specifics and frankly that doesn't matter, you are alive and capable of consuming beer, so have one virtually on me and have a nice weekend |
Mild-mannered man in a business suit When I wanna come home at the end of my day whole lotta cars stacked up in my way I pull up behind one Pull out my pistol and i blow 'em away When I'm driving my car I wanna drive real fast but there's a car won't let me pass I flash my lights.

And, yes, it can be frikkin cold. It doesn't get too cold in Dallas until mid January, though. It got up to 60 today, so it was pretty nice. Riding to work in the morning can be a bit nipply, but by bike puts off alot of heat. |
