If you're one of those assholes who splits over the speed limit, then yes, you deserve it.

There's nothing "safer" about splitting at speed. People who push it are those who **** up and ruin it for the only state that allows it.

When I'm in a slower than limit traffic, I expect motorcycles to split by me.
When I'm going 70+mph, I am not. I would not feel at all bad if I accidentally body-checked someone on a bike with my car because they didn't think faster than the limit was fast enough.

I would, however, feel bad for the person who ****ed up their car running over your head, the person who had to pull your arm out of their drive shaft and any bikes that could have been following that wrecked because spleens and motorcycle parts laying all over are just sh!t for traction. And no one is paying for the therapy for the 4 year old who saw it all happen.

It's not about how safe you're being for yourself. It's about the other lives you could ruin. Believing you're just endangering yourself is selfish. You're not the only one out there.
