I agree completely. I used to ride, and the attitude that I acquired
during that time carried over to my driving - I turn into a really
boring person when I sit in my car because I do nothing but drive.
Another thing that I learned from riding is the importance of being
seen; you want to be absolutely sure that the guy who's waiting to
make a left-turn sees you when you enter an intersection. I turn on
headlights when I feel that I'm going into a dangerous situation
even when I'm driving a car.
People's attitude toward driving sucks. I go nuts when I see people
occupying two lanes because s/he is too busy talking on a phone or
looking at the passenger talking. Can the 55 mph limit be blamed
for encouraging poor and casual attitude toward driving?
