On my morning motorcycle commute, an idiot in a car about took me out

[IDemo]

Since still another post of the "Attack The Other" nature has popped up regarding the ongoing war between the 4-wheeled and the 2-wheeled, here's my contribution: Pay the fuck attention to the environment outside your metal cage when you're blasting down the interstate! If your motoring ineptness only causes a paint blemish or dent for the unfortunate in a car in the next lane, it will likely cause a motorcyclist to go down, with injury or death the result.

The above-mentioned blissfully unaware driver decided my lane was more lemony-fresh than his and commenced a lane change toward me. I moved right and laid on the horn (which isn't a lot of volume on a production bike), and he swerved back into his lane just long enough to turn the signal on and resumed moving toward me as if the lack of a turn signal was his only offense. This happened only a few hundred feet from where an identical incident occurred exactly 24 hours earlier with a more unfortunate result for the biker.

Disclaimer - I have ridden bicycles, motorcycles and driven cars for decades, so I understand perfectly well the issues and frustrations faced by each of these groups.
