Driving for two years and you think you’re an expert?
There are only two kinds of motorist, those who have not crashed and those who have, until you do crash, you have no clue what you might be doing wrong.
“38th worst drivers in the nation”, really? that just means there are 37 cities that you likely won’t survive in.
I also felt invincible when I was 17, I rode my bicycle from Seattle to Washington DC and San Francisco to DC before I turned 19. I was a bike messenger in Seattle and San Francisco. I didn’t start driving until I was in college, then I became a limo driver and drove over 200,000 miles in 3 1/2 yrs in Lincoln Towncars, with many miles in NYC.
I have totaled a car by hitting a deer, crashed on my motorcycle due to lack of sleep/target fixation, experienced stupidity on public roads on bicycles and cars, that’s how I learned to react with emergency maneuvers and I believe that I have survived on motorcycles so far because of my experiences.

I’ve been driving for 2 years. I have a car, its a 2001 ford escape that gets 15 mpg, thus the reason for wanting a motorcycle. Guess what I am a FIREFIGHTER!!! I am a professional athlete without the knowledge of when the game day is. Professional players know game day is Sunday. Mine is any day any time. you have to be in shape. Exposure on public roads isn’t a big deal either, I’m in northern VA 38th worst drivers in the nation. I ride in a fire truck with flashy lights, stupid people are attracted to flashy lights. I take my driving very seriously, no tickets, not accidents (knock on wood), I beat the odds that you crash in the first two years of driving. I’m ready for a motorcycle. sorry for the flame but it pisses me off when online i say in 255 and people automatically think I’m a fat slob and that I have no experience in anything. I’m not saying I’ve experienced everything but for my age I’ve done a lot and seen more.
