My brother Steve was nearly killed on a motorcycle when he was 14. A woman turned in front of him and he couldn't stop. He hit her pretty hard and almost died as a result. He still rides 35 years later and even drag-raced motorcycles professionally for many years, ranking as high as 2nd in his class some years.

As a result of his experience, I do my best to look out for motorcycles. That being said, there are a lot of bikers who do some pretty stupid stuff like rapidly weaving in and out of traffic. As a driver, keeping up on situational awareness of the vehicles around me is very important. The job gets a lot harder when some bonehead with an apparent death wish pulls some of the stupid stunts I've seen. All too often, car drivers just aren't paying proper attention. Sometimes, though, the bikers cause the accident that ends up killing or maiming them.
