I think this should be the campaign out there. I've seen things getting worse year on... our driving/riding condition is sad. More and more drivers/riders just don't know how to drive/ride properly anymore. Accidents are becoming norms and happen on daily basis.
One can only hope.
On a serious note
There are many factors to your thoughts, one is that many more individuals are riding for the first time on bikes they have no business on in the first place. I am and always will be an advocate for tiered licensing. My Son wanted to ride street, I told him to go ride dirt first in any and all conditions he wants for 2 years. He will learn far more on handling a bike in unpredictable events in the dirt then he would on the street in my opinion.
The Other, there are far to many willing dealers to oversell a product to a kid who has no business on a liter bike in my opinion.
Another is there are way far to many stupid parents who allow there kids and never educate themselves on the above two.
Outside of that, you can never predict anything while on the road. I always use this adage, never underestimate the ingenuity of an idiot. That be said, I was on the road coming home and some ding dong on a sport bike is lane splitting at 65 plus, he buzzes me, and yes it did startle me. I have seen this same numb nut numerous times using the freeway in an unsafe manner. It is predictabvle he will be (I hope Not) but time is running out a statistic soon. His thrashed scared bike is a good indicator.
So there are so many ways to look at this. All you can do is all you can do and that is all you can do. What I mean is Ride safe for the Environment your in, use your brains and not your balls for thinking. Last Take it to the track and learn from an instructor :thumbup
