Agreed...and I second the sentiment that you can do a lot to keep yourself from risky situations...for example I'll never drive the Deerfoot, Crowchild, Glenmore Downtown etc. since the risks are irreducible..

Also, I would strongly re-emphasize a headlight modulator (makes your headlight flash during the day) as it makes you much more visible. As an experiment I turned mine off and within 5 min someone almost pulled in front of me (the only time that has happened to me...yet)...who knows how many absent minded motorists would have done something dangerous without that light drawing their attention to me...it is by FAR the best $40 I have ever spent
