Getting a bit lazy on this blog again
Well I'll just rant a tiny bit about drivers
Had somewhat of a close call a couple days ago. I was in the middle lane and about to switch lanes to go right. I turn my signal on, go to the right most position of my own lane, turn my head to check, uh oh a car's coming... better stick to my own lane and just turn down the road instead. I sway back to my lane and get greeted with a nice beep. I turn to my left and there's a car honking their horn at me. Please drivers... stay in your lane... don't pass motorcycles until they're completely in the other lane.
Emergency vehicles... holy shit they're stressful. I've had a firetruck zip right by me. Wasn't too sure where I was supposed to go for the firetruck since I was at a light by the median. I kind of just hugged it, but the first firetruck zipped quite close. After that I noped out of there since more trucks were coming.
Ah today... ambulance right behind me. I was in the middle lane of a three lane road. I had plenty of room to move, so I'm inching right. I try to make eye contact with the driver, since I was positioning my bike pretty much in front of her. On her fucking phone. X_X. Light turned green. Noped right out of there. Almost passed the ambulance... then I realized that would probably be an illegal speed...
AH holy shit left turners at intersections. Twice now that me slowing down has saved me from left turners. Scary ._. Remember people slow down and look at every intersection. Doesn't matter if they're wrong, if you're on the ground dying.
I should get a GoPro. So much shit on the road when you're hyper aware of your safety.
