I find this true as well. I look the part, so motorists 'trust' me on the road. I don't drive erratically, run lights, and generally follow the rules of the road. I think I learnt this in my pseudo-roadie younger days out on the highway. It's people riding swerving all over, with a case of beer on the handlebars that give the rest of us a bad name (not that there's anything wrong with beer
, just strap it to your rack, not hold in with your hand)
