Because everything is Boosh's fault. I thought this was well known.
Actually, I think it's because asking cagers to actually think while driving was given up on as a viable method of accident control in this country. Hence the proliferation of air bags, side air bags, air curtains (just read some Honda has 8 (eight) 8 seperate air restraints), ABS, traction control, active suspension, proximity sensors, Suburbans, Hummers, ad nauseum. They gave up on us scooter drivers long long ago, we're on our own and have been for some time. I keep hearing the theme from Dead Man Walking every time I go to the DMV. Now I know why. It's on their Muzac, activated by leather and/or helmet.
Never can trust a cager, that's why I installed the silverstars so I HOPE they see me better in the daytime. For you guys who think using your brights in the daytime is a good idea-think again. Studies show it is harder for cagers to judge your speed when brights are on in daytime. Lets just ban all cagers!
Great video. I believe it's from England? I learned to ride over there, a few years back. Well, more than a few! On the whole, drivers are more attentive there than in CA because there are less distractions. When you drive, you DRIVE, rather than talking on the phone, applying make up, eating breakfast etc.
