I can't count on both hands and 2 feet how many times an idiot 4 wheeler pulled out in front of me when I was driving truck(and this was an 80,000 pound truck with a 52 foot trailer don't tell me they didn't see me they just didnt give a fck) also happens in my car too

So I think some people are just born retarded and no matter what you drive or ride or wear they still aren't going to pay attention and think of others when they whip out into traffic

 

Fonzie never wore one. He did okay. I dont think I'm going to get one. I will post a follow-up if I change my mind

 

What would Fonzie do. Hmmm ... maybe I need to rethink this.

 

a vest can't hurt. Sheet, how many times have you seen a cager driving with a police car, ambulance, or fire truck driving code 3 right behind them with siren and air horn blaring away. Then the ignorant cager says, "I didn't even see/hear it!" The good majority of people are just oblivious to everyone else. Don't you hate it when that one lady in the grocery/department store will stop right in the middle of the aisle and walk right in front of your cart or block everyone else like you weren't even there? That's who's driving on the streets as well.

 

Well it is coming to that time of year were people in my area do not go outside the house without Orange on. I don't know why but we have what we call "Basers" in my area that seem to think that anything moving is a deer and they tend to shoot at it. That and it is harvest and there are tons and tons of farm trucks on the road with people driving them that should not be driving a car muchless a truck. There should be laws that say people must atleast have a class B liscense to drive a truck no matter who owns it.

 

So because the military requires it, it must be better? With all due respect, the military ain't always right.

 

Have to agree with this all day long. I have to add that if people would slow down to at least 10 or 15 mph at stop signs and lights the world would be a better place.

 

There is no one majic thing that works in all cases. Hi-Vis is just one more thing that helps. I didn't think loud pipes helped until a co-worker (non-rider) said he almost pulled into someone, but at the last minute heard his pipes.

Defensive driving is the best thing to do to keep yourself safe, but every little bit helps!
