I have a idea i want to float to ya'll to see what you think.most bike wrecks happen because THEY don't see us.a motor cycle going toward a car doesn't have much profile OR apparent movement.I've been weaving in the lane to give me some horizontal movement ACROSS the car drivers line of sight any time i see a possible conflict which is anytime someone even looks as if they're going to pull out in front of me.several times people have started to move but stopped after they saw me weaving,so it seems to work.You might have to explain to a cop why you're doing that but if you don't have alcohol on your breath it shouldn't be any problem.Anyhow ya'll might want to try it and see what
you think.I weave a lot any way practicing like there's an obstacle in the road.
