The dire consequences for texting drivers

I don't know a single motorcyclist that has not had a close call due to a texting driver. I have had multiple instances where a texting driver has drifted into my lane, or pulled up too close behind me at a traffic light, or busted a red light because they weren't paying attention. It is a real and honest safety issue we need to concern ourselves with.

Happened to me just yesterday! So creepy to feel that person enter your space...blast on the throttle and get ahead of that! Even the KLR650 can get up and go when needed.
