that was my biggest fear too. out in the sticks is where i took my test ride. it made it seem less scary. that was 4 years ago. even now i dont ride on the freeway much. city streets are good for me. riding will definately make you more aware of the drivers around you and the scaryness wears off in about a week. you think people are idiots now, get on a bike and see how much worse they drive........
