<font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">That's good. What about everyone
else? I can go outside right now, an within a minute or so, spot a
biker or driver doing something illegal. I'm not trying to justify this
at all; simply point out that it's the way things are. I see bikers
doing incredibly stupid stuff all the time, so like "this guy", I'm a
bit skeptical as to whether all the grief that churns up about bikers
rights after someone is hit is justified, or if we're just taking
advantage of their loss to have an opportunity to complain.</font></font><br>

I prefer not to stoop to their level of disrespect. Instead, I like to
be a role model for others to follow.<br>
<br>
You know... that whole do unto others as you would have them do unto
you thing. I can't really ask someone else to do something that I'm
not willing to do first.
<br>
<br>
Plus, if my illegal behavior gets me into a crash, I'm legally
screwed. (Not that being law abiding necessarily helps that much, but
at least I have a chance to argue my case if I'm driving legally.)<br>
