I know I'm not conditioned to see the following:
  1. Bikes coming up between me and the car on my right as I'm passing the car.
  2. Bikes roaring up the breakdown lane.
  3. Bikes weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds.
  4. Bikes traveling towards me on my side of the road.
Yeah, gee -- must be my fault for not being able to see all these events. BTW, I experienced all but the last one this past week.

When bikers begin to follow the laws of the road, there will far fewer motorcycle accidents.
