But hopefully that's changing.Ainsley Wileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965012576264782547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9837635.post-1157587630693790462006-09-06T19:07:00.000-05:002006-09-06T19:07:00.000-05:00I'm curious, Tinker, as to why you 'dive off the road to avoid some lady on a cellphone'. I rarely have problems with inattentive motorists, especially when I'm commuting. I use a mirror attached to my glasses, and I use good lane positioning. It's a basic tenet of the Road1 curriculum and it really does work.<BR/><BR/>If you're interested, the classes are offered through Tulsa Parks Department.Ed Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02661476789768156794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9837635.post-1157486946441726512006-09-05T15:09:00.000-05:002006-09-05T15:09:00.000-05:00It's good to see that people are getting busted for accidents involving cyclists. Dunno how many times I've had to dive off the road to avoid some lady on a cellphone. Of course the excuse is they "couldn't see the cyclist". <BR/><BR/>Same thing with motorcycles. With motorcycles there is no excuse at all. They're noisy, well lit, flashy, etc. They're supposed to be seen. Especially at night! Ever see a Goldwing at night? Like an X-mas tree with wheels. Anybody who hits one of those should be charged with vehicular homocide.Tinkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03155650133457047962noreply@blogger.com
