"drivers aren't paying any attention and have worse driving skills than even those in Southern California."

You forget - I lived there and bicycled to work! As for the drivers, it's all the H1-B's and Mexicans! Once about midnight, I was returning to Mountain View from Cupertino where I'd been playing in a chess tournament.

I was at a red light on pretty much deserted El Camino Real when I saw a pair of headlights approaching from the rear. I assumed the guy would just stop behind me, but he struck my motorcycle at low speed!

It drove me out into the intersection, knocked my tail light off, but did me no harm otherwise. It was a drunk Phillipino. I demanded his wallet. He handed it over, and I took his ID (no drivers license) and all his money, nearly $100. I rode home.

So, man UP, pussy!
