I get what you're both saying, thanks or the great advice

When it comes to nurses, one of my regulars is in her 80s and used to be a nurse. I told her about my bike and showed her the pictures. she thought it was awesome, but kept telling me to be careful. Said she had seen too many people come into the ER having to be put back together due to motorcycle accidents.

I do my best to keep on alert to what's going on around me at all times. Like this morning, for example. I'm at the end of my street, sitting on the bike talking to my neighbor as I wait for a car to come by from behind me. I see a red mustang by my side street and it's slowly swerving all over the road. Eventually almost coming nose to nose with the other vehicle while taking up the middle of the road. the other car manages to get by, and the mustang again slowly swerves all over the road, going up the wrong side and over the curb and back down again before coming to a stop a few car lengths away from me. I looked at my neighbor and told him to wave him on. I was not moving an inch without knowing what the hell he was doing. It was almost like he was drunk. I didn't know where I could go to get away from him, my only solution was to stay put and hope for the best. He drove by and I realized it was my other neighbor. Old dude has no business behind the wheel at all.
