Sorry for the thread jacking Robo-Cow but I have to respond. Serial, part of motorcycle safety is knowing there are a lot of bad drivers out there and not only how to avoid them but how to take evasive action when the inevitable does occur. The safety courses also cover what to do if you get in a wreck to minimize any damage to your person.
