I now take active, positive, and if necessary, aggressive
control of my driving situation. If I sense even the
slightest hint of danger (the list of hints is huge),
then I do something to remove that danger from my presense.
I now have the attitude on the road that I *DO* own it
and to hell with everybody else and to hell with the
laws.


I agree with you...to a point.

There are many, MANY hints of impending danger when riding, and many
little tricks that I've learned to spot it well in advance.



Yes, and although one could write them all down for others
to memorize, experience is the best teacher.


I agree, but I also accept that there are some situations that you just
can't anticipate and avoid. That is just something that we who ride and
fly have to accept.
