I agree I hate being in a car with aggressive drivers
although often I am one myself
I just dont want to die because of somebody else's stupidity
And @ TBS, I dont see how you could feel safer on a bike than in a car, you can take quite a hit in a car, on a bike someone can tap you and you could die

On a bike i can also jump off. Or drive over a curve. This is just a 125 enduro it's built to go off road.
I also only ride in in areas that are 30 MPH (because it tops out in 5th or 6th gear (I really can't remember how many gears it has because it has been so long) at 60 at a straight away last time i was on a country road and the gravel wasn't loose).
I see your point though, one of my dads best friends died from someone backing out onto a highway right in front of them a few years back; however, this is the same guy that hit a dear on the same bike and wasn't to bad off afterward. My comfort level on a bike could come from the fact I've been around motorcycles all my life though, My dad raced enduro back in the day.
There is also the fact I can fix a 2 stroke engine, but a car engine is a bit harder to take apart. The only thing I don't know how to mess with on one is the magneto (do you even fix those?) or the timing (with the points and shit). Although my dad does it just doesn't happen often enough for me to of learned how to fix it.
tl;dr it's just my preference. I'm probably going to have my license for a car within a year, just no car to drive.
