Turning onto a main road, I had ample time to pull in front of a pickup truck, who had his headlights-on "for safety". What I hadn't seen was the motorcycle in front of him, whose one headlight had visually displaced the left headlight of the tailgating pickup truck.



Ever notice the driving "style" of motorists displaying this bumper sticker?
