Anecdote incoming:
Every motorcyclist I ever see is driving like a fucking maniac, solidly 20 mph faster than traffic, aggressively weaving between cars, using the breakdown lane at their convenience, etc.
I know there are “safe, normal” riders but the ones I interact with all seem like they are tempting death for fun
Where is the incentive to ride safe when they are paying half the rego (too much!) to share the roads with people who so careless that they’d kill them without hardly noticing they hit something? Im not saying its ok. Im saying I understand it.
“The vehicle I choose to drive puts me at greater risk of injury and death, regardless of who is at fault, so I’m going to drive in a manner that further increases my risk of injury or death.”
See how ridiculous that sounds?
