...they start driving more responsibly. And, I will admit, there are plenty that do!
But today, as we were approaching a light, obviously in our favor, as other cars were going through it, a motorcycle turned in front of us from the cross traffic. If we were travelling a bit faster, he or she would have been toast! And everyone would be saying "Oh, the poor motorcycle driver that no one ever sees." We saw them loud and clear!
I agree that motorcycles have a hard time expecially when car drivers forget the rules of the road, do not signal when changing lanes, or making turns, etc. And of course there is that infernal blind spot that we all seem to have somewhere in our line of sight. But one motorcycle rider acting irresponsibly affects the motorcycle community as a whole.
Still watching out for the other guy...Day 162!
