If I had a dollar for every time I was driving and I did not see a motorcyclist — for any number of variables — I would be a rich woman. They are a different size and shape than a car, and they are often in a different place (mid-lanes) than I expect a car to be.

I am a careful driver and I DO watch out for motorcyclists. If I were on a motorcycle, I would assume that NO driver ever saw me.

This poor guy.

People don't see with their eyes, they see with their brains. Brains that are listening to music, tired, rushing to work, talking on a cell phone.

One of my favorite hate visual things is first thing near dawn, a gray or black car driving to work with no lights on, on a gray or black road. I have also driven in pretty low light heavy rain and there is a pure gray car with no lights in the mist. But I expect this. As I said, there is a Bell Curve, and one out of two are in the bottom half. Expecting dumb, careless people to be smart careful people is crazy.

That is the only way to ride. I assume other drivers are going to hit me if I don't avoid them.
