First watch this video, then check out my friends blog about a recent near miss he had while riding his motorcycle.

Keep in mind several thing: When was the last time you broke a road rule to get somewhere because you thought you were going to be late getting there and didn’t take into account the bi-standards that were with you when you broke that highway law, that governing force?

What about a hit and run? Have you even seen a hit and run and just kept driving? Maybe you were scared, maybe you didn’t know if the person inside was dead or not, maybe you didn’t know if your help could actually make a difference, but the point is, you didn’t stop.

When you get behind the wheel of a mechanical device, when you operate that device, you submit that you have the necessary mental ability to make good choices in these situations, ones that will protect and help all of those involved whenever possible and necessary. Everyone matters, everyone, and if this is the case, no act is to be discounted.

Please take the time to head on over to theunderdevelopedpodcast.com to read about an experience a friend had that, for him, put exactly this thing into perspective. It’s a little raw, but take into account the moment and the action and the reaction of walking away from something like that. Even the best words sometimes lack what we really feel are the worst situations.
