I had a motorcycle come up behind me as I was passing another vehicle on the highway and proceed to go between us to pass us both. He was coming up so fast that I only saw him at the last minute as I was getting ready to change lanes again and go back into the right lane. If I hadn’t double checked before I moved over, I’d have run right smack into him, and probably killed him 😞 It was very dangerous and foolish of him to pass in the middle like that 😕 I try to be careful and respectful of motorcycles and all other drivers on the road, but other people need to do their part too (not saying your husband isn’t, your post just reminded me of that very scary incident 😕).

I actually don’t mind there not being a helmet law in Indiana, it should be up to people to decide to take the risk or not. Seatbelts should be the same imo. People should know the risks but make their own decisions. I’m honestly sick of nanny state laws to “keep us safe.” It’s a slippery slope.

We have riders in our family and they are sick of the 'new' riders too. Probably a mixture of young and/or immigrants, they don't know/care to follow the rules

RL, if the rest of society weren't financially responsible for them when they were brain damaged or crippled, I'd agree.
