No, I do it all the time, I can't drive without music. Don't use headphones though, and keep the volume low enough to hear horns/general noise. Keep your eyes on the road as well, of course.

My dad's friend was cut off going about 60mph and then the guy in the car that cut him off saw a squirrel and slammed on the brakes, my dad's friend had to lay the bike down and went sliding past the car and into eventually into a ditch. He hit the far side of the ditch so hard he broke his arm which e tried to use to brace himself. But if you are on the freeway, you could hit a stopped car because you don't have brakes when you sliding on pavement so you just have to wait for friction to take over and try to be as safe as possible. Sliding is always better than rolling because sliding is somewhat predictable/controlable, where as when you are rolling you cannot get any sense of direction and have a harder time stopping. So if you are in shorts and T-shirt and you have to lay the bike down at 60mph and you are lucky enough to slide it out, chances are that you're going to get some serious road rash, but if my dad's friend was free of any physical injuries other than the broken arm, which only happened because of the ditch. My dad's friend was wearing riding gear though, padded shoulders and a durable material, a helmet, thick jeans, and even gloves. And this is the best case scenario. My mom's car was totaled from a guy losing control of his bike and having to lay it down, the bike slid right under her car and hit all the important stuff that lies beneath the car. I was in the car at the time and we heard a loud thud matched with some scraping of metal on metal, and then a second or two later heard a loud thud. The guy had jumped back off the back when he layed it down and tried to land on his feet, he ended up just rolling uncontrollably and eventually just ran straight into the back of the car. He had a small head wound, a concussion, and some pretty nasty face/head bruises in addition to the road rash and the three broken fingers from bracing himself while he rolled. Btw, the best way to roll if it happens, is to just keep you climbs inane not try to brace yourself at all. The mass of your body can withstand a lot more than just your arm, so an athletic trainer once told me that if I ever have to dive for a ball in baseball or if I am called, do not try and stop the fall by landing on your arms or legs because they will snap so easily, where as your whole body will absorb the force and you will not end up with broken bones, or at least not as badly broken.

How much is a car ticket?

I've been driving for a couple of months now and I'm 16 years old. I was coming home from the orthodontist and their was construction. Anyways i had to slow down but I didn't slow down fast enough and I hot the back of someone's car. No one was hurt and no airbags came on. I didn't hit the car hard but I'm still really scared. I will be receive a ticket but I'm wondering how much it will cost? Please help. It's very important also I was wearing my seat belt

It likely depends on how your state's law is worded.

This is WA state where I live

http://www.800bucklup.org/laws/wa_seatbe...

Every person sixteen years of age or older operating or riding in a motor vehicle shall wear the safety belt assembly in a properly adjusted and securely fastened manner.

So, if I get pulled over and I'm not wearing the shoulder strap I "could" be issued a ticket I suppose because the seat belt is not "properly adjusted" Note the and, the seat belt has to be both properly adjusted AND securely fastened so you might not get away with arguing "but it's clicked in position".

My thoughts, I'm not an attorney.
