These weekend warriors you speak of are same people taking up the road with those gas guzzling tanks during the week while on their cell phone or watching TV.
The rule of thumb is: Never assume that drivers will do the right thing.

Very True Statements…..and since we are on the topic of safety, Helmets. I understand that many people think that mandatory helmet laws “trample” on their personal right to choose. I think it is summed up best by a Massachusetts federal court judge responding to the argument that wearing a helmet should be a personal choice because only the rider is harmed in an accident: “The public has an interest in minimizing the resources directly involved. From the moment of injury, society picks the person up off the highway; delivers him to a municipal hospital and municipal doctors; provides him with unemployment compensation if, after recovery, he cannot replace his lost job; and, if the injury causes permanent disability, may assume responsibility for his and his family’s subsistence. We do not understand a state of mind that permits plaintiff to think that only he himself is concerned.”
