Cars, sure, enough in the past 30 years, mostly my fault when I was younger. More recent, someone else's fault, but if I had been more defensive, they were probably avoidable.

I've never done the 2 wheel thing. My mom was an ER nurse when I was young, and my dad was a cop and drove an ambulance for a short time when I was young or not yet conceived. I've since avoided 2 wheels and a motor. I suspect I would enjoy it, and I don't trust myself. Now that I'm in Houston, I don't trust everyone else. Houston has the WORST drivers of anywhere I've ever driven including Spain.

Everytime I see a video like this, I think I made the right choice. Many or most of these are due to driver error, but the consequences are potentially so much worse on 2 wheels vs 4.

You may want to mute the volume for the occasional obscenity and the occasional horrible music.
