I don't drive a car often. I rented one to move house with some months back and upon returning it, I was convinced enough that I was moving slower in the car than on my bike that I asked the rental people if the speedo was out. They said it was fine. LOL: for a moment my brain actually entertained the idea of lane splitting when I was approaching some stopped cars and spotted a meter-wide gap
Thank fully I quickly realized that would be a bad idea.
I do like cars for their cosyness. It's nice being able to step into that safe, warm and dry environment and instantly pull away. Motorcycles are amazing fun, but they don't feel as safe (which is half the excitement) and it takes me about 4 minutes to get geared up.
