[QUOTE="James Burleigh, post: 1165859, member: 4162"] The bottom line is that we have to rely more now on what I call the "luck factor"--when you can't do any more to reduce the inherent risk of an activity to within your comfort zone, then you have to rely on a greater proportion of luck that bad juju won't happen. When I was riding home last night on the freeway, I swear to god I've never seen so many people talking on phones, hitting their brakes for no reason, weaving in their lane, and randomly crossing over the lane stripes. To paraphrase a recent writer in [I]Motorcyclist Magazine[/I] (or was it [I]Cycle World[/I]?)--Cell phones are the most dangerous thing to happen to motorcycling ever! (That's what this thread is all about, BTW.) [/QUOTE]
