I wonder if keeping your speed within a factor of two of the posted speed limit would help the survival rates of motorcyclists?
The VAST majority of motorcycle-automobile incidents is caused by the automobile driver “NOT SEEING” the motorcycle.
Faster or slower make NO difference when clown-boy driving the car turns left in front of the motorbike.
While waiting to turn at an intersection, a buddy of mine was rear-ended and KILLED by an idiot “NOT SEEING” him on a full dress Honda Goldwing.
Condescending comments like “maybe you could slow down” are asinine and ignorant.
