Namely, me and my own. Complacency will eventually bite you. Last week, it bit me. Yes I had an accident, in my car. It was a classic case of assuming the person in front of you will do what you expect. Both turning right, we accelerated and then changed his mind. I accelerated behind him but I was looking back to make sure it was clear to merge when he changed his mind.
*thump*
We all know about the word assume.
What is interesting was my wife's observation later when I told her about it. She noted that she was not surprised, and that had I been on the scooter it wouldn't have happened. Her point being that, though I shouldn't, I behave differently on two wheels versus four.
That thought intimidates me a little. If I as a rider, take for granted the added safety of the cage, how can I expect non-riders to be any better? I can't, and that is a problem.
Needless to say, I am alright, the car is a little bruised but that can be repaired. But it raises concerns about the future.
