Now that I said that I really need to watch out.
With all due respect Dave... accidents do not always involve other cars. Just ask Scott, Stan, or me. While Scott slowed to avoid a stopping car when his tires were on a man-hole cover, causing it to slip-out from under him; my accident was over-spray of herbicide from a farmer making the road like a sheet of ice (and you could not see it). Stan's accident didn't involve a car either.

Just saying Dave...

Otherwise, I always wear a helmet, long pants, ankle-high boots with gripping soles, and gloves. I know... ATGATT I am not...
