I barely exist under my old government issued identity. I still have a license and a passport for travel, but I am almost a ghost. Feels very freeing.

If we took all the stop signs out, and put yield signs, do you think people would be more attentive?

I think people are idiots and they'll drive like it as long as they're allowed to.

haha, you dont believe people would figure out how to drive? You should give people more credit, they can adapt.

That sucks. I'm glad you're ok.

I see so many cars with smashed front driver's side bumpers from running stop or yield signs and causing accidents.

or bumpers barely hanging on. People have no respect for their property. I lifted my leg up when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. He ended up hitting the frame and ejecting me off the bike. I wasnt hurt much.
