Mostly because you are familiar with the roads in your neighborhood, so your cautiousness goes slack, and wham, when you least expect it, a new teen driver has just taken out your front wheel.
Statistics sometimes hold a bit of truth to them.
+1, my wreck occurred 4 BLOCKS from my house. Luckily I was fully geared up. No more "quick trips around the block" without gear for me.

I think that this kind of riders, in shorts and t-shirts, are more usual in beach cities because the heat.......

I dunno... I was driving by one of our local dealerships the other day, and we're about 20 from the parking lot, some guy on a brand-new (temp tags, tag still on the helmet) 750 Gixxer pulls out in front of us, hits about 45 (the limit is 35) and pushes down on the front suspension, then revs it hard, up to a wheelie, and goes for about 20 feet. It probably didn't help that he was completely unstable on the thing either, he was swerving while on his back tire, and not just having fun...

it's their choice. their risk. live w/ it.
Do my tax dollars have to pay for his stupidity (ambulance, ER, preop, surgery, postop, future surgeries, rehab, etc)?
It's about far more than just the individual who is affected.
They are stupid.
Moronic. Idiotic.

Nope. Tax dollars don't go to any of that stuff. Maybe the cost of the police to come though. But they show up at cage accidents too. So we pay that all the time.
