I chose "yes, I accept full responsibility for my safety," but only because there's really no other choice in this poll, or on the road for that matter. Yes, I fully expect motorists to act like responsible adults, and they almost always do, but the simple fact is, I have no control whatsoever over what another individual decides to do, and to pretend otherwise is simply stupid. I only have control over my own actions; if some idiot in a SUV does something that endangers my safety, the only rational thing to do is to respond decisively. Insisting that the angry young wanna-be gansta in the Escalade be concerned about my well-being is simply a waste of time. Ultimately, whether you like it or not, the only person who's going to insure your safety is, well, you.
