I'm not sure if this has only happened to me (I don't see how I can be the only one), but I wanted to ask for some advice.
Two times now while riding my 250 at night, I've come up on some on-coming traffic on a two lane road, and have damn near collided with the vehicles head on. Why? Because it's either an unfamiliar road, or a part of the road that I'm not paying attention to.. or whatever the reason, I see two sets of headlights coming up, assume they're one behind the other on a curve (so I can see both cars headlights), but it's some asshat guy in a vehicle passing another one.
I can't tell the difference between two cars stacked up one behind the other, or a car passing another one. Both times, it's been the fact that I ride on the right side of my lane that has saved my ass. That's how effing close those assholes cut it.
How do I help my potentially life-ending situation?
