> “my loud exhaust helps me to be seen”
Friend of mine turned in front of a motorcyclist who had loud pipes and was going about 50 in a 25 mph zone. He was complaining the whole time the EMT's were loading him into the ambulance that my friend was at fault because he had loud pipes.
I don't ride but have nothing against motorcyclists. But I wish there was some sort of tracking device that would warn me when they are around.
Last point something my parents warned me about when learning to drive. Not everyone has great eyesight or hearing, especially older people. Also older people often have limited neck mobility.
