I hear ya banditclik, not to spin off in to a rabbit hole...but in my neck of the woods, the "aggressive" driver seems to be ever on the rise.
Not just the careless type..but aggression.
I don't think it is just in my area.
We have three, what I call "crazy hours"...the a.m. crazy hour, running late for work or what not, the lunch time crazy hour and finally, gotta get home ASAP crazy hour.
In general, or unless necessary I won't drive or ride in town during those aforementioned crazy hours.
..I live in a relatively small town population of 20,675 as of 2020 census...
Trip to doc the other day, major city...used the interstate...and quickly recalled why I loathe driving or riding on the interstate...folks almost at will it seems, zipping in out of traffic, high rate of speed.
JK but seriously, lots of NON use of indicators seen on that Interstate drive + excessive speed, weaving - its a bit on the scary side of things...
BTW for us MC riders, using the indicators well before making your turn / lane change is a good idea...the quick "flash" and then lane change or turn..not good idea.
Often I will use the hand signals AND the indicators aka blinkers if I think the driver behind is not slowing down or errrrrrrrr looking at the CELL PHONE or TEXTING...
Speaking of visibility, which this started on I believe...don't forget the rear of the bike...checking the flashers, brake lights, etc. before taking off on your ride.
I don't ride at night if possible but do have some reflective stickers or tape on panniers or lisc plate frame etc.
Its easy to blame the Richard Cranium drivers..but we as riders, have to take responsibility too...Just my 2 cents
