I realise that compared to the experts here, I am not qualified to really comment on this topic. But I was told by an old motorcyclist when I first started riding on the roads back in 1957 that there are really only two things to keep in mind when riding a motorcycle. They have served me well over the past 66 years.
1) EVERY motorcyle accident is Riders fault.
2) EVERY SOB, including your mother in a four wheeler is trying to kill you.

Many riders on this forum have stated the following, and it is worth repeating:
When you ride, do so as if you're INVISIBLE.
I've lost count of the number of times this mindset has saved my bacon.

100% correct. This defensive driving mindset has made me a much, much aware and therefore safer driver of every type of vehicle.

2) EVERY SOB, including your mother in a four wheeler is trying to kill you. Good advice for bike riders, too.
Only the paranoid survive.
