Motorhome/motorcycle accident

[daveyw66]

Road rage can be costly to a motorcyclist. I recall an incident in Phoenix some
years ago where a `cyclist abruptly cut in front of a pickup and slammed on the
brakes. There were several witnesses and the driver of the pickup was not
charged but was badly shaken, and as you said will have to live with it.

I'm guessing he didn't quite understand or appreciate the 'Rule of Gross
Tonnage' involved with large vehicles. Fortunately, I've never hit anyone with
my motorhome(s) over the years although I've had quite a few close calls.

understand the physics of motion and the stress it causes on us drivers. And, I
never tailgate - in fact, I always leave a lot of room in front of me which
gives plenty of room for small cars to dart in front.
