Yes, I will let the cat out of the bag. I am from Spokane. Lately I have noticed that riding a motorcycle has become a blood sport. Spokane drivers have forgotten how to flow. The caged ones are so secure in their own big boxes that they have forgotten that they are not the only ones on the road. They chatter on their Cellphones and barely hold the wheel while doing so. Traffic should be like a river, flowing ever forward. You don't see Salmon with cellphones, nor do you see Sunfish applying makeup. You never hear of a Ten Trout Pileup on the Columbia.
Be like fish people! Pay attention to the flow. It will get you where you want to go. You will be happier, less stressed an you won't kill a motorcyclist by your tunnel visioned stupidity. Take this car (or whats left of a car). The driver of this vehicle turned in to traffic. Because of the need to talk on a cell phone, the driver didn't pay attention to the Honda that was rapidly approaching them. Now, I don't know if you have seen many wrecks, or have a basic understanding of the physical limitations of the human body, but I am certain that you understand that neither the driver or the motorcyclist survived this accident. This is an actual thing. This is a true accident, it really happened. A cell phone was verified to be a factor in this accident. In almost every Country, State, County, City, Suburb, It is illegal to operate a vehicle while distracted. The fines for driving distracted vary, but the pain from murdering someone because you couldn't wait to tell your friend that you got invited to prom.... well, that is a higher price than any fine.
