As a biker, the scariest part of approaching an intersection is the oncoming left-turning driver. And it isn’t just intersections; if there’s a parking lot or driveway ahead on my right, I’m looking for somebody who might want to turn left into it. These habits come with age and experience, which some younger riders never live long enough to acquire.

On 2 different occasions I was run off the road by oncoming traffic engaged in passing vehicles on very straight and flat 2 lane roads...they just didn’t care that I was there.

I sold my MC after the 2nd incident and haven’t ridden since...I do miss it, but I’m just not willing to accept that I will be killed by an idiot driver like a friend of mine was.
