...all car drivers should be mandated to try riding a bike, it gives them a better idea of what it feels like, and would make them more aware.
As a car driver why should I try riding a bike, I don't want too! and why shoud we be more aware of a bikes? I ain't the one gonna get hurt when THEY hit my car. Yes I said it when THEY hit my car, I'll get bloody annoyed that I have to wait for them to come around in hospital before I get their insurance details thats if they come around at all, and then I have to wait for the insurance company to agree to the repairs. Just think how annoying it is having a big dent in the car!!
I don't hit bikers they are the reckless ones that need the awareness, they are impatient and rude. They should know that car drivers are gonna pull out of a junction or that we are not always gonna use our indicators when you are trying to over take us. If you were more aware then I wouldn't have to be would I?
I would say that car drivers and motorcyclists are just as bad as one another. However i think that your statement about having to wait around in hospital to get their insurance details etc just about sums up the U.K that we now live in. Selfish and materialistic!! A car is a lump of replaceable metal you numpty!! A life is a life!! Have you ever been to a motorcyclist or a motorist that has been so badly injured that their brain is swelling inside their skull and they are so cerebrally agitated that they are fighting to get the oxygen mask off their face? Or the only part left of the car is the engine because the vehicle has obliterated on contact because the CAR was speeding? No? well fcuking try it sometime!! Especially for instance last year when i was involved with a double fatal where two lads went over the top of a car because the CAR decided to just pull out on them!! Both 18, both dead!! Driver didn't have a scratch on him!! "Car drivers are impatient and rude" Sounds to me that you more than fullfill that catagory yourself sunshine!!
RANT OVER!!
