I've seen that pic with the pole about three different times with anywhere to a boat accident ot motorcycle. Either way ??? said it, you are in control and you need to drive defensively (witha little offensive stuck in there) and ride to live like he says. I have hit two cars, first one would not have occurred if I had experience, second one had not chance, but ebing prepared saved me from serious injury. THere is not time to relax when riding ont he street, that's when it happens.
