No matter who is at the wheel you don't know what their driving capabilities are. What you do know is there is a large, heavy projectile you need to avoid to survive the ride. An old guy in a Crown Vic, a family in a mini-van or a young woman in a Honda Civic.....either one doing that maneuver outweighs you and your bike. Drivers Ed tells us "Driving is a privilege, not a right." Forget that "right-of-way" you think you have. That works in court, not on pavement.
I hope everyone rides safely. No, the gray hair thing doesn't bother me. What would bother me is if you bet your life on that stereotype.....and lost.
