A clue has been gotten

maybe eyes will be opened . Ok guys lets show them how good we are. we got our toe in the door.
How bout we smile and give Smoky a thumbs up. I always thought they have a job to as we do. Most of us are good fokes trying to make a living & suppotof fams. Happy trails, I'm out?

 

They've known it all along.

 

Unless they are willing to downgrade a lot of licenses to "bus pass", this seems to be about as much of a lost cause as just about any other enforcement effort.

If I was in charge of law enforcement, I probably would want to officially give up and, instead of wasting a lot of time randomly pulling drivers over for what basically amounts to normal behavior, have officers start pulling over those who are actually driving in a safe and legal manner, so as to determine who should be able to [relatively] easily obtain work babysitting the robot cars & trucks...

 

So what you're saying is that the insurance companies came up with a way that they would have to pay a lot of money to stupid people?

 

For those of us who also ride motorcycles, we have known that the 4wheelers have been at fault most of the time as well.

A quick search will show various studies showing cars and light trucks at fault 60-80% of the time in a two vehicle crash with a motorcycle.

And we know the percentage of fault between crashes of two four wheelers.....

 

“Please look twice for 130mph motorcycles darting from lane to lane”

 

Be aware, motorcycles are everywhere . . .

Doing dumb stuff, riding in packs, lacking in safety gear, speeding, under the influence, stopped on the fog line for a chat. . . .

Be aware of that.

One reason I enjoy winter driving.

 

New study reveals 100% of truck crashes [that did not involve Swift or CR England trucks], were operated by drivers who had recently passed a Swift or CR England truck.

 

If anyone's interested in the actual statistical information from ODOT here's a screengrab. I am always suspicious when an article makes bold statements without citing them.
