cars were at fault in an accident 85% of the time

If you wind up dead, doesn't really matter who's at fault.. you are still dead... if you ever get on a bike and ride without this thought going on in your head the entire time "Every Vehicle I see is going to try to be where I am." you probably should not be on a bike in the first place.

If you wind up dead, doesn't really matter who's at fault.. you are still dead...

It might matter in the impending lawsuit
Motorcyclist killed by inattentive driver of car
Spouse and children left without supports...

Who caused the wreck, from a legal standpoint
can make all the difference to your dependents

You, however, are still dead....
Others who depend on you, may care a great deal

“Every Vehicle I see is going to try to be where I am.”

Take home message
Assume you are invisible

Virtually every time I go out,
this truth is reinforced by
someone/something who does something like...

Turn left in front of you
Cross the road in front of you
Change lanes into you
Pedestrian walking between parked cars and stops in your path
Wild animal (deer) jumps into road

The list goes on
Assume you are invisible

If you wind up dead, doesn't really matter who's at fault.. you are still dead...

I tell my teenagers that a hospital (or morgue) are terrible places to celebrate moral victories...

"Every Vehicle I see is going to try to be where I am."

I call it, "Head on a swivel".
