realize that all of them drive (many apparently rather
large vehicles), that the full import and consequences
of such attitudes start to become apparent.

I was pretty paranoid before that, but i would now
describe my riding style as nothing short of "war
zone survival mode". Just the way it is in my lifetime,
i guess.

I stopped reading the comments sections on these, but
I'm grateful for the edification. Only takes one person
to kill you.
