I hated it when you overtook me and crossed my line (literally). You know it was dangerous but you did it. I respect riders; respect drivers like me in return. The road doesn't belong to you. It is ours. I also ride sometimes but I don't do what you did.

Grow up, riders!

I saw a car over the weekend not even pay attention to a motorcycle in the lane beside him. He pulled over without looking and luckily it didn't turn into a disaster. It's scary out there!

Mutual respect is required when you are on the road. Being a motorcyclist, I hate it when I see bikers zipping in and out of traffic, speeding up and cutting off people because it affects the way people feel about motorcyclists. Of course, the same could be said about drivers.

Very true, Rider. Neither drivers nor riders own the road and it is definitely about mutual respect and paying attention. That said, I do think it is more often the non-riding drivers who cause the problems.

You have to be mindful and respectful on the road at all costs. Other people's lives are at stake if you're in a car, and you're life is at stake on a motorcycle. Drive carefully, not like a jackass!

I think I was more paranoid in general after my kids were born and I remember thinking dozens of times over, if I were able to issue the tickets for the idiots I see out on the road...

I still think that to this day too.
