Commentary
Unfortunately, many people seem to have a bias when it comes to motorcyclists. Instead of someone who’s actually responsible and safe while riding their bike, they see people cutting them off on the highway, and weaving in and out of traffic. Because of this, it’s always a good idea to have evidence documented following an accident. When you get right down to it, you want to have proof that you weren’t at fault for an accident, so that events can’t be twisted around later.
