It's amazing thhe things you will see people doing while driving, cell phones, make up, reading the morning paper, I even saw a guy playing a trumpet while driving down the highway once WTF. I know this story was the biker at fault, but man do we have to watch out and wear a good lid.

To me, the new breed of cagers are getting more dangerous every day. When I started riding, it was a different world. Back then probably only 25% of them were oblivious, today it's more like 75% around here.

Not trying to preach, the choice ought to be up the the individual.
