This is why I never ride close behind any other vehicle. someone gets in front, I ease off the throttle and get plenty of distance between me and them. Going 50 mph, if he drops his muffler, Im gonna eat it if im too close. Let them all go around me and pass me. Id rather have them in front of me and at a distance where I could see them better. I dont trust anyone. I ride like every car is a loaded gun pointed at me. A car can go over a pothole and maybe not even hit it but if he dont, cuz its in the middle of the lane, rest assured you will, cause you wont have time to see it and react if your too close to his rear bumper. as a biker, stay away from motorists as much as possible. Keep your distance, stay in the center lane if possible, let them GO, they're better in front of you. You'll be surprised. After letting them all pass you, if you look in your mirror, you'll see that no one is behind you for a while. You can relax a little till the next clump of cars start comming up on you. those in cages have no common sense. That has all been taken care of by the automobile industry. Think of all the safety features are put into cars. You cant put it into gear until you step on the brake, you cant start it unless its in park, It lets you know to fasten your seat belt, it dings if your lights are not on at night, it locks the door for you. All of these safety features make people dumber and dumber cause they dont have to think of anything but gas pedal and brake. Everything else is done for them. Even the seat gets adjusted to where they like it when they get in the car. So now you can understand why they have the intelligence of pizza dough when they get behind the wheel. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. THEY'RE ON ANOTHER PLANET.
