Word. My daughter just became a LEO in Ontario Canada. (started yesterday) She also rides and wants motor cop duty at some point.
She has made it a mission to ticket or warn cagers if they do something wrong that endanger motorcyclists.

I've noticed a lot more roundabouts being built in my area. On one road I regularly travel, there are no less than four in a row. They can (at times) be quite interesting to navigate.

Every single car and truck on the road is out to KILL me. That's how I ride, and that's what I believe. Well said "Old Evo"

Don't ride like they can't see you, ride like they can see you and are actively trying to kill you.

Best advice I have ever gotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some cagers have attitudes because of an experience they've had with a jacka$$ biker....then they stereotype all of us. Doesn't mean they can take us out though. I wonder what percentage of courteous drivers are bikers behind the wheel?

But your post is a little confusing?? Even if I'm in my car, people always get mixed up on the order...even when it's just one other vehicle and it's obvious. 4-way stop, when I'm on 2 wheels and there's traffic.....I'm always at full awareness.

Yea, I hit a 4 way stop the other day. One vehicle on the left, one across in front, they both got there well before I did. I pull up to a dead stop, and they just sit there, one motions for me to go. It's like, well you say go, what about the other guy? All I want them to do is go in turn, and
I'll take care of myself. But NOOO, they have to force me to go out of turn, just ticks me off.
