    Yeah well looking the ‘wrong’ way on a 1 way street has stopped me from getting run over, and looking both ways before going on the green has saved my life from a red light runner when I was on my motorcycle.

      You basically need to assume everyone in a car is an axe wielding maniac out to kill you if you’re on a motorcycle. I had a family member crash after a driver didn’t look left before pulling out of a driveway and put them out of commission for a few months, plus some new hardware. Stay safe!

        That attitude has kept me alive for 23 years of riding. Many have tried to kill me, but I saw most of them coming and got lucky the couple times I didn’t.
