If one a slow scooter ride on the right side of the lane and wave for cars to pass you . I have had ( censored ) ride my tail and flick the lights like that could make me speed up . Even if I speed several cagers go nuts with the " I can not let a moped out run me " ideology .

Always keep your distance from cars and always do a 360 sweep of your surroundings . Drive like everyone is an idiot and on dope . People will pull out right in front of you as it is hard to judge the speed of a scooter compared to a car .

When my 50 had a " moped " tag I got a lot of " get off the road " and other DUI slurs . I almost never drink , never had a DUI and I do have drivers license . Since its a 2T and would go faster than moped restrictions by law I got it insured and put on a MC tag and have not gotten any flack

I finally figured out why they have an eye protection law in Florida! It's so that you can get a last look at the people that pull out in front of you! If you leave enough space (to be safe) in front of you , sure as hell someone will pull in it. This is very common. My wife has it happen to her all of the time on the interstate. Maybe that's what caused that burn spot on her headliner! Irish
