Agree. Don't think it's because I got older, but drivers today, having greatly improved vehicles, snap handling, great brakes, lots of standard HP, all sorts of safety designed into standard fare, myriad of tech devices handheld, clicking away, seem to operate their cages with little regard for their's or other's safety.
If driving my F-150 I get respect, (it's bigger), than my grocery getter Scion. And the motorcycle even less because it's presents little alarm to a cage driver. Its size is contemptible to a cage ramming its way through traffic. Back roads have their own distinct hazards. One of which is the warm fuzzy feeling that things are much safer, because yer not on the slab. Leaving and entering driveway can also be a leap of faith. What could happen, yer going only three MPH? A big hurdle is containing yer id when abused by other's bad dangerous driving.
There's a lot going on out on the road. The police are the my last problem.
