Like the Tesla that drove into the side of the transport truck because it didn't "see" it?Well, maybe the self-driving cars can't get here soon enough.

Safe to assume you are in the right tire track for better visibility?I ride 118 to the cottage all the time. Cant tell you how many times cars pull across the the center line to pass the car ahead of them, only to go head on with me going the other way.
Im not saying thats what happened, but i wouldnt be surprised at all

I'm always a little surprised by GTA forum members who say they have cars cutting them off, turning left in front of them or actively trying to kill them every time they ride. This is just not my experience, it's dangerous out there and you have to ride very defensively, but actual incidences are on the bike are very few and far between in the last 15 years.
Depends on which neighbourhood you live in in the GTA...
I ride the same road all the time and this has never happened to me.

He's never been to to Brampton from the sounds of it or downtown Toronto where the cabbies are trying to kill you just because they dont pay attention regardless of what you are driving.

Could I entertain you with this neat pamphlet of why it is "in" to dress like a power ranger?
-White ranger.
Generally you want to be in the left tire track if it's only one lane though (obviously there are exceptions to the rule). The downsides to being in the right tire track is that vehicles behind may think you are pulling off, are a slower moving vehicle, plus the likely hood of picking up crap from the shoulder. Vehicles passing will see you regardless of tire track if they are pulling out to pass as long as they actually look.
Saying that though, I have read and am a subscriber to power rangers monthly.

Every time a small car in front of me rides the gravel/dirt apex of an on ramp leaving 2 car lengths of space to the left, especially at a lower speed than the suggested speed sign, the thought of "I could pass this person..." always races through my mind... Followed by the thought of , "They'd also likely jerk their wheel into me if I tried".
If it makes everyone feel better about 35 years ago, on a 2 lane road outside of Montreal, I pass an MG with a women driver and then she speeds up to keep pace with me. A few km later a car is coming in the opposite direction and I move from the left tire track to the right to give me more space and reaction time just in case. Suddenly the oncoming car pulls onto the shoulder at highway speed leaving the driver side wheels just on the edge of the pavement and an instant later the MG passes me on the left straddling the 2 lanes. So for a split second we're 3 vehicles side by side on a 2 lane highway. As she accelerates away I get the finger from her. The oncoming driver saved the day on this one.

Just 30 minutes ago, I watched a car make a u-turn right in front of a speeding truck on Warden just north of Steeles. If that guy didn't notice a truck, no hope in hell he would have seen a motorcycle.

Driver of the vehicle worked all night, was up all day and fell asleep at the wheel.....and drifted over...from what I was told he was only charged with careless driving.
I spoke with a fellow a couple of days ago who claims to be friends with this group. In fact, he was supposed to be on the ride, but couldn't make it.Haven't found a reference yet. Is this your speculation or fact?

Another thing that really ****ing irritates me are people who don't turn into the right lane when turning right, or left when turning left. This is what the car horn and my foot is for if I'm riding.
...........I'm going track only again once I get my funds up. Street riding sucks. Hell, driving ****ing sucks. #TTCForever
