I still think every person that gets a DL should have to go through the MSF.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... The first license that should be issued to ANYONE is a motorcycle permit... mandatory 250cc for the first two years of being licensed. I think would improve driver skill and motorcycle awareness by leaps and bounds.

Well, truth be told... even sometimes when you look, you don't see. It's happened to me before, but the difference is I was paying attention so I was able to not fucking run anyone down.

I've lost count of the number of times that I've been right along side a driver's window and he hasn't bothered to look beside him, before almost driving me into a guardrail. While I agree that sometimes you can look and still not see, far too many people no longer even bother to look.

Again though... I think the fact that I look is driven a lot by my motorcycle experience... I've put a boot into a couple inattentive driver's doors...

very true... I see motorcycles everywhere because I look for them...

I started thinking about something about a year ago... when I noticed that there were far more motorcycles on the road than I thought... I started to wonder if the motorcycle traffic had really increased... or (more likely) I was only seeing them because I was looking for them. kinda bugs me because i wonder if I ever was that moron who cut off a bike... I don't think I ever was... but no way to know for sure
