How many motorcycle riders on here?

Hitting stuff is bad, but being hit is life threatening.
Hit a dog that was crossing the freeway, clipped his butt and he spun around a few times and then ran off.

Darwin let us both live another day so we are both the wiser.

I drive very cautiously as the distracted cell phone drivers scare me the most.
I never ever drive in anyones blind spot on the bike or cars.

I think cars should have built in jammers to prevent cell use in a car when its in turned on.
In the US, over 1.3 million accidents a year cause by cell phone use, 330,000 with injuries, 8000+ fatalities a year.
Thats a 1 in 300 chance, so if you get out on the roads everyday its a rate of about 1 accident a year, with a 25% chance you will be injured.
Defensive driving skills are absolutely required now, especially on a Bike. (Rant completed!)
