California has smog inspections but no safety inspection and there’s untold numbers of really dangerous cars running around on the freeways out there. There’s lots of accidents due to bumpers and such falling off those heaps.

Yeah, I'm always running over bumpers and hoods.

The last full year I was out there, I hit one bumper and a bumper cover in my truck and narrowly avoided six more as well as lots of smaller car parts on the freeways. Listening to KNX 1070 on the internet, there’s always some SIGALERT about a traffic jam caused by some car part that’s fallen off.

Listen to KRLD in Dallas, you’ll almost never hear of that. Pick a Houston, Austin, San Antone, whatever Texas station and you won’t hear it either.

Maybe as a regular motorcycle rider, I notice it more, but believe me, there is no comparing the road debris.
