-I won't go into details but will say i have been significantly injured twice on a motorcycle, both times were 100% my own fault ,so there is no one to blame but me ,
i attribute both to having been " young , dumb,and "invincible " at the time .
That said, I find myself after having ridden more than 40 years actively avoiding freeways and congested higher speed city traffic, i can not recall more Drivers doing more outright stupid things ever , from watching movies on their dash TVs to talking on the cellphone despite that being illegal here, while smoking , and eating a hamburger ,etc.It's like piloting that 2 ton missile at 55- 70 mph is at the very bottom of their priority list ,it's just stupefying - the sad part is pedestrians are doing it too, i actually witnessed a woman get hit by a car she stepped in front of while staring at her phone and texting.,she never even looked up as she stepped into the street, the Driver was in no way at fault .Luckily she sustained a broke leg but was otherwise alright , she could easily have been killed.
