So many riders die because they're going way too fast and the car sees them and thinks they have enough time to pull out but they didn't know the guy was going triple the speed limit. Lots of dudes die that way.

I've said this before. You start out in life with 2 buckets. One empty bucket of experience, and one full bucket of luck. You hope that you bucket of experience fills up faster then your bucket of luck runs out. People die because most have pushed their luck and don't have the experience to save their azz. I've thrown a bike down a couple of times at over 120 mph.......on the track, never on the street. If you want to go fast. On the track, never on the street. On the street. I'll only do about 7/10's. I keep the other 3/10's to save my azz if need be.
