I agree that I could have prevented the accident by not using the right lane.. or by taking a bus home or by going well under the speed limit. Hindsight's 20/20, we all take certain risks when we are on the road. It doesn't mean that we are riding in an unsafe manner, I'm just saying...

Thanks for your insightful posts, everyone. You've given me a lot to think about. No offense, but you don't know what the **** you're talking about. Let's say you, Petraeus, are in the centre lane of a three-lane road going the speed limit. You're not going over the limit because it's a...
