I’ve said it before but texting drivers bother me more in my car than they do on my bike. I was second in line at a traffic light the other night and the car in front did not move when light changed. Common occurrence, NBD. Toot the horn and they go, right?

I toot the horn and nothing. I actually thought the driver might have OD’ed or had a heart attack. I reversed a couple feet and went around, the young female driver was completely consumed in a text and just was not to be bothered. That was seriously a first in all my years of driving.

On my MC, I would not have even known she was doing it because I would have been ahead of her at the light. I’m the first one at every light on my bike. People make left turns into my path and illegal u-turns in front of me every time I ride my bike. It’s just life in the big city. Every big city. If you don’t have the skills and reflexes to operate a motor vehicle safely under those conditions, you should definitely not ride and surround yourself with as much metal as possible.
