Not a problem.

To each their own. 😆

I should have stated that my comment was definitely anecdotal. I’m only speaking on accidents I’ve witnessed involving motorcyclists. While yes, the majority of motorcyclists I’ve seen drive like complete assholes, the majority of accidents I’ve seen have been caused by inattentive drivers. When I say majority it’s probably 60/40. Every time I’ve had the opportunity to see the car driver involved where I’d say(in my completely unqualified opinion; I’m no cop or insurance adjuster) that the car was at fault, they’ve been on or looking at a phone.
On the other hand, when I’ve seen accidents where I’d say the motorcyclist is at fault they’ve ALWAYS been doing that wild shit that you mentioned.
I used to work at an office complex that was on a very high-traffic main road at a very busy intersection, one block from the freeway on-ramp with a crystal clear view of about 4 blocks of the main roadway and a bit of the freeway from my desk. So almost all of my anecdotal evidence is from one area in one city. I didn’t intend to make it sound like I have statistics to back up what I’m saying and should probably have been more clear about my lack of actual data.

And this is why I will never get on one. I love biking, and I love going fast, so a motorcycle seems like a great choice… until I watch around me. I’ve seen countless accidents involving motorcycles, the majority caused by inattentive drivers of cars and trucks. Then there’s the asshole motorcyclists who do dangerous maneuvers that make up the rest. I value my life more than thrills.
On a separate note: do we know why the “train” category is bolded?
Thanks for helping me out.
My dumbass is over here “Legend milk??? Coke milk??? I don’t get it! 😖”


Also, why does The South have the worst people in so many countries?
I find this to be mostly untrue. I run into less horrible people per capita here than the other areas I’ve lived and traveled in(excluding Louisiana; they are their own brand of “fuck you.”)
Thanks for the information. In crashes where phones weren’t a factor I can see how these things would be true. I’ve had some near misses myself, usually with the asshats. Surely still true with a phone involved, but anyone looking at a phone while driving loses any and all other considerations in my book.
