Does Riding make you a Better Driver??
I was riding to work yesterday and It was a Gorgeous 60 Degree Sunny Day with a few clouds in the Bright blue sky. Couldnt have asked for better weather. And I came up on some traffic...Now its a two lane road and It is traveling through some state forest/woods so there are plenty of dotted lines to pass. So I pass the three cars I came up on and moved back over, No big deal...Then I see this jerkoff behind me up my ass DYING to get around me...Dont get me wrong I have passed a bike while in my car (harley riders mostly) but Im cruising at 70 with a Posted speed limit of 55...Not exactly slow. This Jerkoff actually passes me at like 85 and then Once he passes me Slows down to like 60.
Point of the story is there have been MANY times where I have been on the bike and other drivers have either moved over to give me a cushion when im near them or just been aware of me and waited to change lanes well after i was out of harms way... And Also, When I drive my car and see other bikers I instantly observe where I am at at if any other cars are putting them in danger...That and my Bright yellow Look twice save a life bumper sticker usually lets Bikers know I am a rider myself...But I would say that while it wont help your skill as a driver it helps your awareness and the decisions you make.

By definition (and wikipedia, and LOC) there are no good drivers in New Jersey.
