When I rode on the street and was passing a fast moving car on a highway/freeway, I was keenly aware the driver probably think they're alone and I would stay as far over as possible when going by them. It really is the riders responsibility when passing, but not all of them think that way and I don't want any blood on my hands.

Oh, I'm always well-aware of my surrounds; motorcycles or quick moving vehicle usually emits a reasonable loud sound that would catch my attention, so there is also that..

Not to dampen the mood but I've wittiness a person die before my eyes, in a car accident.

It's a very humbling experience to see a human get ejected from a vehicle, twitch on the pavement for a moment, as their soul leaves their body. Then the paramedics show up a few minutes later and place a white sheet over their corpse - then they go smoke a cigarette and shoot the breeze..

I might off come as an asshole, in a attempt at humor but I'm solemn when need be..
