Well not one but two close calls today. What is wrong with these cage drivers. Do they just not look at where or what their doing? I understand sh$! Happens. But did you really need to speed out in front of me and cut me off only to make a complete stop to turn across oncoming traffic. Or the second one who seen me and still pulled out in front me. COME ON !!!!!! I just want to throw rocks at their cars.

Happens. Isn't right but if you anticipate it and react before it becomes a problem then it is just another day.

Been real bad around here. Since school started, close calls are pretty much a daily event. It's not the students, it's the dipshit faculty and staffers that are the problem. The freshmen students from China drive better than they do.

I have learned not to get mad at that kind of stuff. You will just increase your blood pressure and let them ruin your ride...and it won't make a tinkers damn in the end.

Keep your cool and enjoy your ride.

You ain't never gonna change the way the azzhats drive. All you can do is refresh your riding rules. Lane placement, following distance, speed, and general awareness. Happy you made it home safe and sound.

If you ride in any kind of traffic it's an everyday occurrence.

I've been hit by once by a dumb *** like the ones you've mentioned. That kind of stuff pisses me off but I learned to be a better defensive driver because of it. I look at everyone in a cage as if they're going to run me down!
