"But, officer, I didn't see him!"
This is almost always a lie, and I have proof. Well, anecdotal evidence, anyway.
When I lived in AZ I rode a lot (on a candy-apple red Harley FX), and one day some guy tried to run me off the road, so after that I decided to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights while riding.
After strapping on a stainless steel revolver, suddenly EVERYONE in car was courteous and respectful, and never once was my right of way challenged.
People can't see a 600 lb. bright red motorcycle, but they sure can see 30 oz. of steel on your hip!
A friend of mine tried the same thing with the exact same results.
I truly believe you.
Just as some drivers of huge SUV’s develop a ‘screw you I’m bigger’ attitude, some cagers have the same damn attitude no matter what they drive.
