I agree.
It seems these days with all the cell phones, texting and people pissed off about the economy being so bad we have to turn things up a couple of notches.
It also helps to wear high visibility clothing and helmet which is the highest point on your bike. Still, I am considering selling my bikes due to all the terrible stories like this one.
