Or it could be that most of us bike riders have almost been killed countless times by stupid fuckers in cars and there's a good chance that a few of us have been injured by some fucknut who wasn't paying attention. That tends to make people a little testy. |
So would you count yourself in that "most of us?" |
Yep, got hurt plenty by a dumbfuck who forgot to yield in a left turn. Asshole drove off afterward, too. It wasn't that serious but I was in pain for quite a few days afterward (and it aggravated some broken ribs I had previous to that). |
So were they dumb fucks because:
- they were in a car and obviously a dumbfuck?
- they were in a car and are just a dumbfuck so it would have been the same thing had they been on a motorcycle?
- the motorcyclist forgot that cars have blindspots?
Remember, generalizing that people who drive cars are fucknuts that don't pay attention is just as bad as calling motorcyclists dumbfucks who can't drive.
