Don't even get me started with the inattentiveness of drivers.
That sounds like a solid theory, but I'm a numbers guy... without numbers to quanitify it, you might as well be arguing that Miller Lite is less filling or tastes great...

big problem today wasnt folks not seeing me it was them getting halfway through their dumb manuever, spotting me and then stopping everything like it makes things better. if they are gonna move they need to do it. how the hell ami supposed to predict what they are going to do and safely counter it if they waffle? idiots

In the way, they are right. Safety is THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of the rider. After all, we are the ones that get hurt. Would it be nice if all the cagers look out for us? Yes, it would. Can we bet on it? Nope. So it's up to us to keep ourselves safe.
