You know, whenever I've had a close call with a car, my adrenaline level has shot up.....as a result, once I know I'm safe, I am PISSED OFF at that driver. Small wonder, since he/she nearly caused my death.
HOWEVER, this always crosses my mind: I have an acquaintance who was riding one night on I-95 and a car cut him off....like, scared the hell out of him. My friend put a boot print in the guy's door; the driver returned the favor by forcing my friend and his bike into the wall, putting him in a coma for a month.
It's not fair to heap ALL the responsibility on the motorcyclist, but I think if you want to stay alive, you gotta think that way anyway. It's ten times the work, riding a bike vs. driving a car. Luckily it's worth it!
