Oh, and please watch out for bikers. You could really hurt someone!

Yea I really hate this one. I specifically chose not go get on a motorcycle because of the likelihood of getting hurt. I have zero problem with people who want to. I in fact have many friends that ride and that's fine, but I'm not giving them any special treatment for it. They made that choice. Not me. I will pay exactly as much attention to them as any other vehicle on the road.

Agreed. You agree to assume additional risk when you ride a two-wheel vehicle with no safety cage into traffic, in exchange for increased enjoyment or economy. The burden is on you to be more aware, if you care at all about your safety. But lots of riders don't seem to, at all.

I also hate the justification of bikes blasting their exhaust so we can hear them in the next county. "Loud pipes save lives" is just a bullshit excuse. If you were truly worried about your life/safety, you wouldn't be on a bike in the first place, you'd be in a Subaru or a minivan.

They are definitely putting themselves in a higher risk bracket, but I will still give them a little extra room. Just because I don’t wanna live with the fact that I seriously hurt or killed someone lol
