although i dont support lane weavers....
from owning a cruiser motorcycle in the past i can say first hand that its insane how inconsiderate some drivers are to ANY thing around them. not to single out female drivers(esp young female), but in my experience it was always them who were so preoccupied texting or talking on the phone instead of driving
i went off one day because a young lady came within a foot of my front tire at 40 mph and when we got to the stop light she was talking on the phone. when i took off my helmet and started yelling she gave me this afraid / omg why could anyone be mad at me / this guy is a jerk look. i was so irate because she was so inconvenienced by me yelling about her literally almost ending my life. i like the direction that some states are heading in restricting use of phones while in the car, this should be a serious crime.
if we live in a country where you can get life behind bars for killing someone who breaks into your house, we should have some sorta punishment for people who DELIBERATELY take their attention away from the road driving a two ton killing machine down the road.
after several near misses because of female drivers i no longer own my motorcycle, sucks that i had to sell it but it wasnt worth almost dying over.
I was traveling 70 mpg in a 65 on Hefner parkway in the left hand lane and buzzed a woman going 50 in the middle (she was on the phone). Apparently "buzzing" her pissed her off so she exited after me on the ramp to 122nd and tried to bump my back wheel.
She literally tried to kill me for just existing. It made no sense.
I can say that usually when I see people going significantly slower than the rest of traffic they are on the phone, like 95% of those drivers. They tend to act like everyone else is in the wrong in that you invaded "their world" since they happen to be the center of the universe.
I am fine with the motobikes passing me at 100+ miles an hour, its when the cut you off within inches and don't even have the decency to signal, I have never see a crotch rocket do that, that's why I cant stand them.
