ADVISORY (Continued):
In my experience, when a bike has a cargo box on the front, mounted to the frame, and a car "right hooks" the bike, cuts-off, or doors the bike, the bike comes out with less damage than the car.
For this reason , I always carry a copy of my automotive insurance card when I ride a bike. Remember to have the Insurance Card ready, and ask the motorist to produce his Insurance Card, if you are involved in a collision with a car. Doing so can prevent nasty things like altercations and lawsuits.
