This is something I feel like going postal on someone about.
Let me start from the beginning.
For my Birthday, I took a ride across the State and drove through the Vicksburg Military Park. On the ride out there, I had a cager flip their cigarette butt out the window and burst on my face plate. I was momentarily blinded, but I kept my head and just kept going. Nothing else I could do.
I was really annoyed at this incident, but it was no problem.
Then, this morning I was on my way to work on my bike and the cager in front of me flipped the butt of their cigarette out their window, and this time it hit me on my upper chest. Wouldn't have been an issue, if the burning embers hadn't found my exposed neck and burned me. No marks, but I sure felt that heat intensely. I'm also glad that those burning embers didn't find the part of my pony tail that was hanging outside my helmet.
I think it's bad enough having to watch out for everything on the road that we need to look out for, but to have to watch out for flying objects to and try to avoid them?
How often are you hit by these burning missiles?
