I used to commute on a bicycle. I was always watching for where I was
going to go if the fucker didn't clearly give me clearance. Before that
I rode a motorcycle. I was always watching for where I was going to go
if the fucker didn't clearly give me clearance. The only difference was
with the motorcycle I could always outrun the sucker. As a result I have
never had an accident riding on the street, road, or highway. In parking
lots is another story. There you are moving so slowly that you have
little stability, I dropped my motorcycle several times to keep some ass
from backing into me in a parking lot.
The rather unfortunate fact is that 98% of people become imbeciles the
second they get behind the wheel of a car. The one thing they can not
take the time to think about is driving. The fight with their boyfriend?
How their lipstick looks in the rearview mirror? Brushing their teeth on
the way to work? What is going to happen on the next page of the book
they have propped up on the steering wheel? Yes! Driving? Hell no!
They can not even learn from experience, a sure sign of imbecility. How
many times have you been cut off by someone who has already been t-boned
once.
