Irish, it sure seems more and more drivers are not paying attention and placing us in a bad position. Yesterday was another day of very cautious riding / commuting.
Had two drivers enter from side streets w/o looking - almost hit both. Then a Dekalb cop passed me by crossing a double yellow and then cut back in almost clipping me. Funny, I ended up right behind him in traffic at the next light. |

Having been riding for as long as I have , I can really notice the difference! Some of it may be moving to Florida. I rode MOSTLY in the N.E. states before. If anything riding seems to have gotten more dangerous. You see cars with signs on them that say "Watch out for motorcycles" & such but the cage drivers seem worse! All you can do is to Stay Alert!

Just last week I was riding on the State Route into town when a car jumped out to pass everyone going the other way from me. He wasn't stopping and I had to take to the road shoulder to avoid becoming a hood ornament. As he passed in my lane the cars he was passing blew their horns in contempt. I'm sure he was impressed.

Yes, the readways are *filled* with people who aren't paying enough for their car insurance.
