I want to say something about all the motorcycle accidents since the beginning of the year in Hawaii. I got my license after years of contemplating the idea, safety was always a concern. It is sad that so many people are dying. Some of the accident are the riders fault.
But more importantly, many accidents are caused by negligent car drivers. In the short time since getting my cycle, I have been cut off by numerous vehicles with the drivers on the cell phone. One guy even gave me the "what?" shoulder shrug. Even though I drive a car too, I want the ban on texting and cell phone use while driving. If you hit a motorcyclist or a pedestrian, they have very little to protect them. Even with a helmet, being plowed into with a two tons of metal is not good.
In this economy, I can not imagine that your insurance premiums rising from the accident would be good either.
Please put down all the distractions, turn down the radio just enough to hear your surroundings too.
