Motorists seem to be always pushing the limits, such as the speed limit. I ride on busy streets also. I do not use a red flag, but I do make use of the white line on the street when I can. I find that many motorist will drive as close to me as they can without crossing that line. On a narrow street this makes me very nervous. Bob drutx!rdb Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
