My point was, “bad drivers” are a given, a fact of life that aren’t going away. One has to protect oneself from them whether on a motorcycle, a bicycle or a car.
It is not an excuse why bad things happen more often to motorcyclists. Its like taking a knife to a gun fight...
gotcha. and, as you say, one has to protect oneself from the bad drivers. and just like the loud obnoxious replies on this post get the most attention, the loud obnoxious bike gets attention on the road and drivers are apt to come out of their daydream fog and wakeup for that moment.
