  Bright fluro clothes, bright red or white bikes and trikes, usually doing under the speed limit…

  Still getting rammed on the regular.

  At some point you gotta accept our driving standards are way too low, and our punishments way too lenient. If you have a stack, there’s a reason.

    Improving driving standards and increasing punishments won’t fix this. Drivers will always make mistakes. Cars and trucks are unsafe at any speed and need to be separated from more vulnerable road users.

    Legit. Its like Monty. If you hit that thing you need to have an investigative team go right up your colon because it requires a level of ignorance and obliviousness that should bar you from holding a license

    To play devils advocate- they need more dark spots. Against the sunlight up some hills, they basically become invisible.

  Amazingly, Ford Rangers underrepresented in these videos; maybe because they wouldn’t show fatalities in a promotional video.
