Default street legal not for me

Having been an injury (auto) claims adjuster for about 8 years, you will never catch me on a motorcycle, scooter or street legal golf cart, nor will I do road biking (as opposed to bike trail). It's not you, it's the other guy - too many people go too fast, don't maintain a proper lookout, run red lights, etc. IMO more now than in the past (don't you notice 3 cars going thru yellow, then red lights- getting so you look in the rearview mirror before you stop on a yellow, just because you don't want to get rearended)? Everybody's in a hurry.

Almost all of my motorcycle injury claims were because the other guy didn't see you. And in The Villages, with an older population, well . . . probably just as bad as the 20 something drivers in a different way.

That's just MO.
