Well here is something even more frightening, try riding a motorcycle and having the circumstance of another drivers attention being focused on something else other than seeing you.

Happens to me, now I was aginst loud pipes and headlight modulators but this is my very survival, so I have drilled my pipe out and am installing some high tech turn signals that have a multi strobe flash.

Insane; the measures you’ve got to go to just to get around. I’m always conscious of motorcyclists given I’ve had three childhood friends lost on their bikes due to motorists being less than vigilant.

I was out riding and waved at an older dude on a bagger ,with a passenger, and he was texting! What a friggin’ idiot! I see younger dudes talking on cell phones while riding their bikes a lot.
