Crazy Motorcyle Riders Part 2

What's with high beams at night? I understand during the daytime. I can see you just fine with low beams at night.

I nearly ended up in the bushes tonight coming back from Ocean Drive when three of them went by with overpowering headlamps blazing into my acclimated to the darkness eyes...

Turn 'em down. You're not special. Personally I'd be afraid of getting run over by a blinded oncoming driver, but that's just me.

Oh man your dead on. A few years back some a-hole in a motorcycle was behind me with the brightest freakin high beams i've ever seen. I literally could not look into my rear view mirror without going blind. Unreal, this dirt bag had no respect for other motorists.

Why do so many motorcycle riders have no respect for other drivers?? Do they think they own the damn road?

I would like to know whats the deal with how they feel the need to ride on the median line for cryin' out loud!!!! I can see when they are riding side by with another bike but when they are solo???? I am just glad the bikers let us use their road!!!

I find that the NEW cars an trucks, have extremely bright low beams these days, and i often find myself flashing them to turn them down.But the high beams they flash back are blinding,....oops, i thought you had the high's on already. way too bright! I drive a 1981 toyota LC, and i am forever thinking everybody has their brights on.
In regards to Motocyles, i see plenty of them, riding the median like i should move over.Don t they know the laws of physics? I know i will goto jail if i hit one, but maybe that is what it will take, Evolution is a never ending process, even if we have to go backwards! Darwin awards! stephen.
BTW, loud is too loud these days, and no authorities that i have heard about have ever stopped a Motocycle cause it is TOO loud! altho, in NWPT, there is NO more outside music cause of the loud ordinance, but the Moto's and car stereos blare incessantly, without any reprecussions. Just my 2 cents.

The reason more riders are trying to be VISIBLE near the medium is that to many idiots turn into them or cut right in front of them especially when the bike is behind another vehicle. What is it that these idiots always say I DIDN"T SEE YOU. For all those who complain and wonder why now you know.
