It's enough to make me consider a permanent switch.)<br /><br />I once had a motorist 'thread the needle' at high speed between me and a truck. He (or she, I couldn't tell) was well above the speed limit. It was a frightening experience. I looked for that car for days afterward. And it's one instance where an on-board camera would be extremely useful.Ed Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661476789768156794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-21035133545446837362010-02-11T06:05:19.297-06:002010-02-11T06:05:19.297-06:00Apertone, it was clear to me you were not advocati...Apertone, it was clear to me you were not advocating overly right riding. My main point in your case is that lane position probably ought to be considered as visibility and communication rather than some sort of boldness statement. We are the shepherds of our motorists.<br /><br />I have never had a collision with a car on my bike* and want to keep it that way.<br /><br />* Unless you count the time one of my bikes fell over onto my Jag in the garage and dented the hood, but I wasn't ON the bike at the time.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-81869323031141368432010-02-10T23:05:07.875-06:002010-02-10T23:05:07.875-06:00Hey, we don't have to all agree, in order to g...Hey, we don't have to all agree, in order to get along. In fact, that'd be quite boring.<br /><br />But, I should clarify: I'm not advocating riding too far to the right (though "too far" is subjective). I'm fairly comfortable in the right tire track most of the time, but I move left of it when circumstances call for it. For me, it really depends on a lot of conditions.<br /><br />I am, however, extremely mindful of not riding too far to the right. This is how I had my one accident involving a motor vehicle, and I certainly don't care to relive that experience!Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-2499970333370604422010-02-10T22:50:48.670-06:002010-02-10T22:50:48.670-06:00Hey man, that analysis, in my opinion, was spot on...Hey man, that analysis, in my opinion, was spot on. I saw the temporary plate on one of the cars following, but was unable to distinguish one on "speedy", the small white car. <br /><br />As for disagreeing with my commenters, carry on. You do it as politely as I would, and if a polite difference of opinion drives people off, so be it. I won't sacrifice any good airing of opinions for popularity's sake.RANTWICKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394479078513545568noreply@blogger.com
