I have to agree. Riding a motorcycle does teach you defensive driving.Two months, two cars and a very bruised wife. Thats a bad run… I’m glad she’s ok, angry she’s injured at all and by someone not paying attention. My thoughts and prayers she’s physically heals fast and everyone recovers mentally sooner than later.
The amount of drivers crossing the centerline has increased dramatically over that last few years, cell phones, tablets, social media, movies seem to take precedence with many of the people we all share the road with now days. Good driving isn’t a goal or concern of many. I’ve logged a little over 400,000 miles on motorcycles, it teaches you defensive driving, I’m always looking for cars rolling through a stop sign, vehicles crossing the center line and I never stop at stop sign/light and take the motorcycle out of gear. Whether in a car or a motorcycle I watch my rear view mirror and have avoided two serious accidents by simply getting out of the way of a distracted driver. It’s getting worse not better…. Be careful out there, it’s a bit crazy….
Butch: I pray your wife heals quickly.
