Reckless

Reckless.

That is what I can describe a big number of motorcycle drivers here in the country.

I have written entries about it here and here but I don’t get tired of saying these things that I have observed time and again, day after day:

• these motorcycle drivers weave in and out of street lanes
• they do not wear the proper protective gears like armor jacket, knee and shin protectors, back (and kidney) protectors and sturdy helmets
• yes, they have helmets but they wear it on their arms/elbows, duh?
• they have two or three passengers with them and that includes children

These protective gears are VERY expensive, I agree, but what could be more expensive than that but lives on the line?

I can not imagine what it would cost if others are hurt due to this reckless behavior. Worst would be lives lost. Even if these drivers have someone like an Oakland motorcycle accident lawyer to stand by his side, being extra careful and protected is better than being reckless. Much, much better.
