Be careful around the elderly

They will pull out right in front of your motorcycle. Twice in an hour, WTF people.

Unfortunately it's not just the elderly. Be safe out there.

@WindTherapy stats kept by insurance companies show that youth are the worst drivers, and boys get in the most accidents.

@Changeisgonnacome Not a bit surprised. I think it was last year I was riding my motorcycle coming into the city limits. Upon the first street I encountered (that street ended as a "T" at the road I was riding on, 35 MPH speed limit for me) I saw a car coming up the side street to my left, and likely exceeding his 25MPH limit. As I got close it was apparent he wasn't looking at me and wasn't intending to stop at his stop sign. I surveyed the situation and knew at my speed If I swerved to the gravel shoulder off the road and applied any brake I was going down and likely tumble in the ditch. I was bracing myself to launch from the bike and hope to land on his hood. At the last moment he saw me and swerved. He straddled the yellow dividing line and left me just enough room to stay on the pavement. His front tire and front bumper were just a couple feet from my left leg. He sped off in front of me. I followed him for a few blocks but was a bit shaken and didn't get the plate # to report him. I was just thanking my riding angles for looking out for me that day.

Be careful, no matter who!

I could have died at 16 because of a 24 year old woman from out of state. Pulled out right in front of me out of a church parking lot.

Totaled my motorcycle, broke my leg, was in a caste for six months with pins in my knee.

And I was going below the speed limit.

@DeWayfarer you’re right I’m just taking my anger out on the current demographic that tried to kill me today.

Public transit.

Where do you live, Florida?
I saw a TikTok where an unmarked Police Car pulled into the passing lane and slammed the brakes on to stop a motorcyclist. The bike slammed into the back of the police car. The cyclist had a camera. In my opinion the Cop should have been charged with attempted murder.

Yeah, they are dangerous behind the wheel
That's just gods way of nudging coffin dodgers off the mortal coil. I'd consider splattering them across the pavement to be a public service.
