ohdaho Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Almost got hit twice today. SUV and then a car took a right into my lane without seeing me. Despite both beams on, orange safety vest, and orange bike...no reaction from the drivers. Luckily I was able to swerve out of the way. It was probably my uniform...damn ABUs work too well.Stay safe and watch out for blind drivers. I dont think the cages are aware all the bikes are out.

Likwid Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Always a good reminder (glad you're ok)... folks aren't paying attention, and they won't until they almost (or do) hit a couple people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've had two pull out in front of me since sat. all at low speeds, under 30 miles an hour. The first one was saturday. she pulled out and procded to turn again maybe 50 yards later with out a turn signal of course. The second was today, on my way home from work. young girl leaving school. Pulled out and relized and threw her hand up like she was embarissed what she did, but she continued to keep driving, so i reved at her. Hopefully she looks out more from now on.

Xfader Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Love the shirt! Wonder if it will work with all of those people who cannot even read? We already know that they can't drive! I like knocking off the mirrors best. They don't seem to be using them anyway. Be safe out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
