So you almost killed a guy and you're angry at him about it? Okay.

No, I pulled in front of a guy doing exactly what I’m supposed to do so who’s at

Why do we need to assign fault? Was he doing something wrong? Or should we use this example as a reminder that we all

Totally agree with this... there really is no fault that is exactly what I mean.

Well, except that you aren't willing to accept any responsibility for the incident.

Is that you trying to come up with a response to my iron clad logic?

You almost killed someone. Try taking some responsibility.

My mirrors were fine, I was anticipating a lane change as any responsible person

Just admit you did a poor job in that moment and resolve to do better.

Reality is, I did not do a poor job, I did a better than average job... could I

It shouldn't be this hard to admit a mistake.

So you almost ran over a motorcyclist and you're blaming it on him?

i think he was saying the biker could have been using GPS.

It's surprising that such high-quality prose could be misunderstood

Makes sense. He could have been texting while riding too.

I know 3 people who died on motorcycles. It was 100% their fault.

When I rode, I'd assume everyone else on the road was trying to kill me.

You think the data in the link is a stereotype? You think driving a bike issafe?

So you dramatically change your OP and then come back with such a retort?
Hank Rearden

I removed the obnoxious part bc I agree that was too far reaching
