Yea for real. I had a mate that came off a moped at a T-junction, a guy pulled out on him and hit his tail end. You should have seen his motorcycle jacket afterwards man. If he wasn't wearing the gear he'd have been in the hospital for skin grafts for sure.
After my wreck I learned a few things
-Stopped riding so aggressively
-Vowed to not ride a bike without fairings or crash bars (they saved my leg)
-Yes, drivers can be as stupid as you imagine. I treat everyone as if they are retarded.
-If its longer than 15 minites trip I wear gear
I was so lucky. No gear, workout clothes I got hit by someone turning left after curving right. Trapped under a sliding bike my PHONE took most the the slide. Road rash on right arm, some of my ass and a sore ankle was it. Gloves got totally rekt, helmet had a gash in it. Lost a sentimental hoodie.
