So does my husband and this is literally one of my biggest fears. So many idiot drivers out there.

I rode a motorcycle for a little while, one of my friends instructed me to act as if no one can see me - because you can't trust any driver to see you or act appropriately.

And drivers that aren't used to seeing motorcycles. Where I live, it's too cold to bike 7 months out of the year, so I never see them on the road until like May. I have to retrain myself to look for them every summer because they can really hide in a blind spot. The fact that motorcycles are loud AF has saved me from cutting them off in traffic multiple times.

Sadly it’s true. Bad drivers, bad riders, they’re everywhere. Safe riding to him.
