Have you notice how the general opinion is that people getting hit by cars somehow deserved it? My best friend was hit by a text-and-drive kindof woman. He was an athlete and now he can't walk more than a few hundred meters.

In the ocean, this is called the law of gross tonnage. Don't count on the tanker yielding to your sailboat.

The ocean is big. How do I exercise caution when some bitch is tailing me on my bike? If I fall I die. If I side, they pass you leaving the size of an apple as security. Quit your victim blaming lmao. Ocean tankers takes half an hour to take another direction, your cars takes 1 seconds. False equivalency.

I agree, and I've been run off the road on my bike too. I didn't make up the thing people say. I'm not even a mariner.
