You have to give respect to earn respect. I respect bikers to a certain extent. Those who use their turning signals or use their hands to signal which lane their going in I respect. Those who change lanes and have the appropriate distance I respect.

I respect them when their infront of me. I give them about 3 car length infront my car. If they get in my lane infront of me, I ease off and stay back to give them distance incase anything occurs.

I really don't like being behind bikes because you don't know what the person infront of the bike is going to do. Like it was stated in this thread people in passenger vehicles slam on their brakes or brake check, I am guilty of brake checking people but that if their riding my bumper for no reason... I just don't go around doing it.

When a biker is infront of me I keep my distance in which I think its safe for me and for the biker infront of me. When I get a chance and if another lane is available I switch lanes. I feel safer with a biker on the side of me then infront of me.
