"A nasty car wreck that damages your body will make you see things in a light that previously you may not have noticed."
I place accident avoidance as a higher priority than accident survival. I've put quite a few miles on a motorcycle and even tens of thousands of miles on a bicycle (I commute in rush hour by bicycle). I haven't gone down since I tried to jump a dirt pile on my stingray in 1966. I have been hit by three cars, all of which were severely scratched up though - but I stayed up.
I don't go through a red light if there are other cars going through, silly rabbit. I have the human ability to look both ways AND look for pedestrians (and cops). remember, the laws are for the lowest common denominator.
Rob you might think you can see every car all the time...it is your right to think you can be perfect. Seems you had trouble with already three times eh?
