Mathematically they're equivalent, but the feelings could not be further apart.

Until, abruptly, you aren't.

Just assume you are invisible and that all the other vehicles will do the worst likely thing, and you might be alright.

When I rode I went beyond being invisible to just imagining they are all actively targeting me, and making sure I didn't give them a chance.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

You targeted them first?

Speaking from experience, the former is extremely likely. Given the increase in sociopathic driving, I'll not be riding on slabs again anytime soon. I really don't want to get hit by another truck.

Every motorcycle driver I've ever encountered was a shitty driver. They all do dangerous shit for no reason beyond their thrills and act like complete dicks on the road.

Motorcycle licences should come with an organ donor registration card

At least in my state all drivers license applications do.

Same with my state. Also with voter registration update reminders. Oregon really takes its voting seriously.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I changed to automatic registration after voters voted yes to voting. Now you have to explicitly state you don't want to be registered if you don't, and any drivers license or ID related paperwork automatically registers you or updates your registration as needed.

Weirdly, passing a bunch of voter equity legislation initiated by the voters shortly resulted in a change in legislative makeup that better represented voters, and is weirdly more in favor of voting rights.
Crazy how that works.
