Yep. Same happens here in Cali.
I get to drive around SF and stuff that I see puts things into a different perspective. Most of the time I think, "What would I do if I were on a motorcycle?" Unfortunately, I live close to route 82, a state highway. The most dangerous zones are the ones that are next to the shopping centers. Please do not be offended, but when women come out of stores all excited about their shopping... I tend to stay away
I had a road rage once... I was going straight when a woman was making a left turn while talking on a cell phone and not looking at the road. Instead of going straight I floored and swerved into her car. Good thing my breaks were good. This was a stupid move, but at least she dropped the phone. This was a stupid move, but at least it was me in a car, not somebody on a bike. Getting hit from the side sure does suck.
My solution to a problem is easy: Nobody under the age of 18 should be able to drive a car. Once people turn 16 they should get motorcycle or scooter licenses. Ride for two years, then get into cars. This will serve us as follows:
1. Stupid people will die soon. Since it is hard to do a lot of damage on a bike, unless you ride a Rocket, idiots will kill themselves easily. Also, bikes can fit two people tops (unless you have a side car), so its fewer deaths per vehicle.
2. Smart people will learn that SUVs have to share the road.
3. We will save on gas and promote motorcycles. Hopefully, this will lead to less traffic and cheaper gas prices for all of us.
I see the only problem so far: It is hard to get laid on a bike.
