    I’m not making any arbitrary assumptions. I’m making educated guesses based on what I see on the highways near me.

      What I meant with that, is that you’re treating those cars as if they’re there by law of nature. That no person made a conscious decision to drive them. In an accident between a motorcyclist and a car driver, maybe the motorcyclist didn’t heed the necessary caution while driving between objects that could kill, but the car driver decided to put a deadly object on the street. I really do not care to assign blame, which is why I prefixed all of this as being a shit take, but assigning blame to the mororcyclist is just terrible, even if it is done all too commonly.

        No, I’m really not. It’s all about being intelligent and safe/defensive when you’re driving or walking or biking or whatever else around vehicles of any kind. They’re dangerous and you shouldn’t be exacerbating it by lane splitting and speeding the way I see so many motorcyclists do all the time.
