Default about time!

Just saw on the news here in the Toledo. Ohio area, that the Ohio State Patrol has started a new motorcycle patrol, that according to the officer they interviewed, will be out and about, relatively inconspicuosely, to target cagers who drive recklessly and without regard to motorcyclists. While he stressed motorcycle safety, he acknowledged that there is a problem with inconsiderate motorists not watching for bikes, and since the death toll of bikers in this state has risen....well, all i can say is it's about time! Lets hope the idea spreads.

While I absolutely applaud this, I think they should widen it to all dangerous cagers. Though the injury/death risk is less, they still take out other cagers doing nothing wrong.
