Re: Riding Safe
I'm willing to bet that most of the tragic accidents that happen to motorcycle riders can be avoided. I'm sure we'll never really know what happened to that poor woman that lost her life. Same as Brad, I'm not a fan of motorcycle riders that creep between lanes of stopped traffic to get ahead of the pack. It may not be the correct thing, the popular thing or the safe thing but, if I see them coming up between cars, I pull tighter to my neighbor so that they can't pass (I also do this to cars that try to squeeze through when a lane is clearly marked as closed or is merging up ahead - if I have to wait, so do they). It really yanks my chain when the riders think they are better or more privileged than the rest on the road. I believe they need to follow the same rules of the road that any other motor vehicle does. That being said, I don't wish injury to anyone at any time.
