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.
