How many of those 11 accidents were the fault of the autonomous vehicle? (Which are much smaller and less visible than a UPS truck, by the way.) Additionally, UPS drivers are taught the safest routes to go from various areas to other areas specifically to reduce the number of accidents they might be involved in. Even…

You should look into three things. The number of accident-free miles driven by autonomous vehicles to date. The number of accidents involving an autonomous vehicle. Finally, the number of accidents where the autonomous vehicle was deemed “at fault”... The first is a very big number. The second is a very small number.…

Leaving the high beams on all the time while driving is only slightly less terrible than typing in all caps while driving...

There’s a growing thread over on svrider.com titled “Five tips you would give to a new rider” - some very excellent advice there, with a little funny/bad advice thrown in.

Talking about it is better than vigilante justice. Always. You can you can signal your displeasure with an action without doing damage. If you start with vigilantism, the logical path leads to every vehicle out for themselves, and then every time you make a mistake (you never make mistakes, though) you might have a…

The “they’re all out to get me” mentality is *meant* to be a way of riding more defensively, but as all things in life some people take it literally, and of those some take it to the extreme and become self-righteous.

Besides the MINI Cooper, the Fiat 500 is really easy to spot.

I’ll second the MINI Cooper.

Two things - the visors are designed to either flex or pop off in an “off”, so they don’t act as a lever. And they are there because dirt riders are rarely riding when there isn’t sun overhead, so the added shade is a good thing.

That’s not what he’s saying. He’s saying there was no reason for MM to be battling for 3rd with him when he could have clearly run out and been the race leader at any time he wished to do so. MM spent a lot of time and effort (most of the race) making sure that Ianone was between VR and JL, then on the last few laps…

Where the author and I are at lane splitting is legal, so I’m not breaking any laws to stay safe. Find another argument that might actually apply. Like how much safer everyone would be if nobody was on their phones, required to actually signal for a lane change or turn, not cross double yellows into a restricted (HOV)…

You must not understand the purpose of doing so. The greatest danger to a motorcyclist in traffic is the traffic itself. Being allowed to be at the front means that the motorcyclist is able to be in the open space between mobs of steel boxes rather than in the middle of those steel boxes. Are they hindering your…

When speaking of the interstates in WA, it is not “the 405” - that is a California-ism... It is always “I-405” or “I-5” when speaking about the interstates in Washington (and Oregon)... One of the issues with television (like Grey’s Anatomy) and movies set in Seattle is that the use of “the 5, the 405” completely goes…

Many courses also use 250cc bikes instead of 125’s. In WA (where I took the BSC), most of the bikes were Suzuki GZ250’s, with one 250 intruder, one 250 dual-sport, and a few scooters. It varies from location to location, though.

So, move it to Saturn’s rings... :D
