I would like to add a story.

I was riding my 150 through the backroads of NC mountains. I wasn't going fast, due to the turns and gravel, however an oncoming truck was. And as I rounded a right hand corner, right in the dead center of the curve the driver was TEXTING, about 1/3 over in my lane, but more importantly, her mirror was in my face.
Luckily, my father warned me about paying attention to their mirrors more than their tires location to me and I swerved, avoiding certain death.

I did have my FF helmet on, as I ALWAYS do.

In conclusion:
Drive good enough to make up for other drivers.
Always leave yourself a way out.
And, pay attention to the little things as well.

Be safe.
