I think motorcyclists are better drivers overall. We are used to being very vulnerable while on the bike so we develop a heightened situational awareness that carries over to driving cars and trucks. I also keep a special lookout for motorcycles and have occasionally moved into a position to be between them and a careless driver.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
