It's just like all big cities, no one watches out for bikers. We have some of the highest car insurance premiums in the nation. The first week I owned my TBA I had a pick-up with a horse trailer pull out in front of me and some guy run a stop sign and almost broadside me. In both incidents I had to lock the brakes to avoid being in an accident. There seems to be an inordinate amount of motorists who text and use their cell phones while driving. There are 2 main arteries that are deadly to bikers. US 169 and the Broken Arrow Expressway. People go between 10-25 above the speedlimit. On 169 you have to go 15 or 20 mph above the limit just to keep up and not be dusted off. Also we have a lot of knuckleheads on sport bikes who think the speed limit on 169 is 100. That's why I come to work at 7am and leave at 4 to avoid the crazies. Also there is the police. They use their cells as much as the general public while driving. I really think phones should be hands free in cars or banned all together. My rant for the day.
