I personally believe new drivers should be required to spend 2 years riding a motorcycle before they're allowed behind the wheel of a car. (Actually, I would like to make say...1 out of every 10 years be motorcycling only after the license is obtained, but you know, baby steps.)
My basic mantra while riding. "They can't see me. If they
can see me, they're going to try to kill me."
I'm not saying it's true. Just that it's a good maxim to live by.
