[QUOTE="Coiled03, post: 16039506, member: 18779"] You've obviously either never ridden a day in your life, or you the dumbest ****ing rider I've ever heard of. It's not a riders' job to make sure cagers can see them, beyond perhaps wearing brightly colored leathers, riding with their high beam on, maybe getting one of the oscillating headlights, and not hiding in their blind spots. When I was riding, I was well aware some people couldn't see me. I assumed as much, and always had my hands over the brake, and clutch. That wouldn't have made it my fault if they had pulled out in front of me. It's called right of way. Maybe you should look it up. Yes, I DO expect drivers to look for, and be able to see motorcycles. We all share the road with all manner of vehicles. If they aren't able to see well enough to see a motorcycle, maybe it's time to turn in the keys. How about this: If you can't see what might be where you're trying to go, DON'T ****ING GO THERE UNTIL YOU CAN! If you choose to go anyhow, that's an assumed risk on YOUR part, and YOU are responsible for whatever happens as a result. And no, I won't take responsibility for a driver texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise not paying attention to the point that they can't see, or don't know what's going on around them. Riding defensively is the worst thing you can do, just like driving defensively is. You need to ride offensively. Don't wait for dangerous circumstances around you to resolve themselves. Use your maneuverability and acceleration to extricate yourself from them. [/QUOTE]
