Motorcycle deaths soar : Local News : The Rocky Mountain News
Had a few idiot try telling me that about stopping when I was trucking. I said ok your chest is the brakes. Lets say a tennis ball is a car. I throw it at you and no problem stopping right? Now this 12# bowling ball is a truck. How about I throw that at you? I don't know if they actually understood but they did shut up.you never see the cagers comapared like that.... or the people that ride the bus, walk, etc they just think that motorcycles are more dangerous!! i agree
with captn above. i am in a truck 24/7 and i see idoit cagers talking on the phone, eating, putting make up on or even reading the news paper while driving!!! they just don't give a crap about other people had one person tell me that we was bigger so we can stop sooner lol told them to guess againtakes forever for us to stop as most truck drivers know.
Be careful up there! Keep talking and keep Tommy alert. He's a lucky guy having a wife who'll live with him in the truck! Give me a holler if you get anywhere near the WV panhandle. My wife's a great cook!have to remember that one. we had a car stop in front of us last night. no warning. and we are in chicago where its icey. luckly tommy knows how to drive lol
+1 I think your right on the money. Most bikers are watching very carefully. You'll always have your dumb 16 year old that thinks he is a hot shot. but on average I would say bikers are a lot more careful.articles that site statistics always make me nervous... it is apparent that there are more bikers and more accidents...but, I think that the average rider is much better trained and aware ... then the average cage [email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected]!!
Kinda wonder if the # of deaths increased at a coparable rate tot he # of bikes on the road in the past couple of years.articles that site statistics always make me nervous... it is apparent that there are more bikers and more accidents...but, I think that the average rider is much better trained and aware ... then the average cage [email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected]!!
I WISH that were the case here. My neighbor is a retired driving instructor and WADOT tester. In essence the DOT here (in his opinion) has structured the program to get you your license -- as opposed to actually helping you learn the HOW's of safe and courteous driving.We go through much more training which makes us better drivers and riders.
