"...distracted driving..."


The countless people texting, videoconferencing, and Facebooking (while driving) convinced me to reconsider motorcycling on main roads. Talk about a national emergency. It is out of control.

The fact that many states are also seemingly comfortable with allowing potholes to develop that are 10”-12” with no urgency to repair them compounds the issue. So lulled drivers slam into them and lose control and/or force others into the potholes because they are too immersed in their mobile phones.

Yep...once I was riding down an interstate. I saw 4 cage drivers in a row doing bad stuff. A dude eating a burrito, the next car, a chick texting, a chick putting on makeup in a sunshade mirror, and a dude with a BOOK open on the steering wheel.

If you motorcycle, they ALL really are trying to kill you.
