Valerie's Belfair WA Real Estate Blog

I am a little pissed off upset at the moment. This is not real estate related so if you are here for a real estate topic - well - Go away now!  It's somewhat of a rant and somewhat of what I hope you would read and OPEN YOUR EYES! 

Why is it that people think they are above and beyond the rules? Or are they just on Auto-pilot while they are driving a huge ass butt car??  What rules?

The rules of the road. And people wonder why there are mindless, stupid, uncalled for accidents... Well it's because people do not pay attention and think they own the road and that MOTORCYCLES and their riders ARE DANGEROUS??

HEEELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO?????

YOU Cause most of the problems in your CAR!!!!!

I ride a motorcycle. I took the motorcycle safety course so I could be a good and better rider. I FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD and THEN SOME!

I learned to drive defensively to defend and protect myself from mindless autopilot people such as the guy who could have caused a very serious accident today (in a car) if I had not been paying attention.

Scenario - I am wanting to make a left out of my office. I am waiting patiently for a break in the traffic. Someone coming from my left ,has traffic stopped waiting for him to make a left turn... I wait for an opening coming from the right to pull out.

I see my spot and have PLENTY of time to pull out- at least 12 car lengths. I pull out and shift into second and I stay at a slow steady speed so the guy to my south trying to make a left, can make a left and get traffic moving again (thank you sir for holding up traffic for me).

As a rider, we tend to ride in the 3rd LEFT part of the road for a reason but the WHOLE road of my lane is legally mine to use on a motorcycle.

Why am I riding to the left?  SO YOU CAN SEE ME AND I CAN SEE YOU. So people who are backing out of there driveways can see me too.

So I am going to let the guy make the left in front of me (one good deed deserves a good deed back) and I double check my mirror and the idiot BEHIND me is passing me in my lane on the right!!!!!  I look right at him and yell "What the $%^&* are you doing?" ( I know not very becoming but we ARE talking about MY LIFE HERE!!!)

He pretends he doesn't even see me!!! Then he gets in front of me and flips ME OFF!  He had NO RIGHT to pass me on the right especially IN MY LANE -MY PART OF THE ROAD!!!!!!

Thank God I saw him and did not move over into the 1/3 right of my lane or well - let's just say I probably wouldn't be writing this because obviously he was on AUTO-PILOT and thought I was just an obstacle in the road.

Don 't make me or yourself a statistic. Follow the rules of the road and -you know what? that means SHARING IT WITH ME ON MY MOTORCYCLE.  I have the same right a-way as you and follow the same rules!

Take yourself OFF AUTO-PILOT, follow the rules of the road. SHARE THE ROAD WITH ME EQUALLY.
