Sorry to say but the self-centered, entitled cagers are here to stay.... it's a me me me world these days. The only one who counts is me...… I hate it too, but unfortunately it's a fact of life. That's why I'm always on the defense. I try to anticipate the next idiotic move by the butt head in front of me.

Driving home from work about daily in crazy heavy traffic out here in the oil patch, 2 lane highway, mix of 18 wheelers and half crazy oil patch hands in pick-ups. Last summer about 3 days a week, an absolutely insane guy on a sport bike would pass me weaving in and out of traffic. He would get on my back bumper, just inches from the tail light, and at the slightest opening pull into oncoming traffic and pass, usually darting back in just inches in front of me. If he got an actual opening he would pass a dozen trucks before pulling back in. In a matter of minutes he would be out of sight working his way down the line of bumper to bumper traffic. No helmet, just a T-shirt. Guy was absolutely insane. I haven't seen him for several months. I wondered for a while if he took himself out. Had to be only a matter of time the way he rode.
I see a lot of stupid driving out here in west Texas and very rarely even see a motorcycle out on the oil patch traffic, but that guy was the opposite end of the ******* cage drivers. A rare example of the motorcycle being the idiot.

I’ve had it happen to me and I think it’s scarier seeing another rider almost get smashed. In the moment, for riders with plenty of experience in all manner of road and traffic conditions, your reflexes take control and you don’t think about it till after it happens because it happens so fast sometimes.
Seeing it happen to someone else let’s you pucker up before, during, and after. Extra pucker on the side...

The state that idiot lives in is run by idiots who decided to put the test out in multiple languages, and likely hired bilingual examiners (at a greater cost to the citizens) to perpetuate the folly.

Think abut how the average idiot drives and thinks, ever see the a holes doing 90 weaving in and out of traffic? now, if they are faced with rear ending a semi truck, or cutting over into the biker, which do you think they will pick?...
