It's not surprising if many people think that motorcyclists are almost deliberately doing stupid stunts to piss them off (in other words, generalization), with the sheer numbers and the amount of idiocy they display on the roads.

Similar thing with sh*tneys, trish*t-cles and homicidal buses.

Disagree? Good. We don't care. You shouldn't, either. Unless you can't accept how other people's experiences have resulted to them having a different viewpoint than you and/or just being too sensitive.

In a way, such generalizations help in defensive driving, like what I do with public crap vehicles, certain moroncycles and car models.

When you see an "idiot candidate" on the road, you expect him/her to do something stupid anytime, hence you get extra careful. You let him/her go ahead of you. That way, you can avoid an accident or something, which is what really counts.

Too bad this doesn't really work 100% of the time, but at least it's better than getting angry and trying get back at them.
