Ride enough miles, and eventually a mirror will help keep you out of the hospital.
Exactly. You should listen to CB.
You can leave it all to chance and fate by not paying attention to overtaking traffic, I mean, why bother, right? Or you can ride as defensively as possible to hopefully leave yourself an out when something wrong happens.
Funny, that's the same thing drivers should do.
