"Mama C" sent me a video of a truck driver in a crash. Can you guess what he was doing before the event?

Riding a motorcycle on a motorway you soon realise why there are laws against using cell phones while driving and safety barriers between opposing lanes.
I'm actually surprised that there are not a lot more 'accidents' given the way so many clearly pay little attention to the guiding of the huge hunk of steel and plastic they are steering.

I agree completely (couldn't just say +1 not enough characters)

I think the most infuriating times are when it's a semi driver or cop looking down at their phone and nearly causing a fatality as a result. To serve and slaughter more like.

I agree. When you think about how stupid people can act it amazes me that many millions of cars go here and there every day with no problems.

Yup. I took out my old Commando 750 for the first time in months this evening. I'd forgotten nothing of how to ride. But I had forgotten just how inattentive people in cars can be.

I tend to like t stay in the dirt.but my dirt bike and 4 wheeler do see some pavement every once in a while...in search of dirt or just cooling off around the neiborhood. my brother has harleys,he keep telling me to take one home...Ive never been on them. another buddy with a few thats too old to ride keeps telling me to take his out for a ride....I dont think I ever will.Im not one to ride somebody elses stuff. well there was this one time....but she got a divorce and remarried....30 years ago. weve been riding ever since.

but she is not 2 wheel friendly.
