45. I don't know what causes
"motorcycle blindness" but it is a real thing...I don't know why people don't see motorcycles but it's like the data isn't computed by their brain. I got flipped off once years ago by a guy on a harley (I don't mean casually, I mean he was in front of me and he turned all the way around and gave me the finger for a few seconds...actually he could have wrecked while looking at me instead of the road but he was trying to make a point) and it did make an impact on me because apparently I cut him off. I was in a compact car, and definitely someone driving an suv while talking on a cell phone needs to have some kind of 'intervention' before they kill someone.
