Stay in front of the wolf pack. You stay in traffic. You put yourself in that position.

After riding over 50 yrs and in excess of 650,000 miles, 2 things still scare me:
1) Deer 2) Texting (distracted) drivers - Having them coming at me over the centerline is a monthly event.

1) Deer
. ~~~~~~~~ . I learned to not relax too much riding through the CA canyons. Road Rats. . Here in AZ not too much of a threat.

Deer scare the piss out of me. Fortunately, they are not much of a factor on most of the streets and highways I ride on in CA. but everywhere in the country that is rural, they are everywhere. We actually have a lot of them in the Hollywood Hills and on Mulholland but I never see them on the road, either dead or alive. Knock on wood.
Texting drivers don't scare me as much. Don't get me wrong, I think it's terrible that so many people are driving distracted but the ones I see are almost always going down the road straight like zombies as opposed to making quick turns and other unpredictable moves. Generalizing, I know, but I see them everyday. I could see one of them running a red light but I never go through a green light w/o looking both ways and making sure there is a wall of stopped cars, etc.
