Who are these Riders anyway? Well, the Riders’ experience comes out of a rich family tradition on the road, from long haul truck driving to long distance commuting, from road work inspection to managing a trucking operation, from covering large regional insurance territories on the road to driving vacations all over the USA and beyond. Riders know driving.

 

We also know that we’re not the only ones. It hasn’t escaped our notice that you all are out there on the road with us, and have plenty of experience yourselves. That’s why we’re asking you to join up with us to make the road a happier, safer place for all of us together. Please take the pledge and share your stories below. There’s a stylish official Rider Method bumper sticker in it for you! Plus the chance to win other fabulous prizes, like t-shirts, driving caps, tote bags, license plate frames and cute Happy Rider teddy bears.

 

Thank you for your support.
And welcome to the Happy World of Safe and Healthy Driving.

Take the Pledge

            

I, state your name, do pledge and swear (but not solemnly!) that I will lighten up, laugh more, drive with care and courtesy, lay off the whining and cursing, avoid rude gestures of all kinds and generally leave the other drivers alone, except for the occasional Cheery Rider Wave. I will be salubrious always, and share the way of safe and healthy driving with all my friends (and they are my friends!) on the road. And I mean it!

Transform your rage, anger or plain old bad mood to smiles and laughter with RATS (Rider Alternative Traffic Story)

 

Is the other driver evil? Not any more! We have the power to change all that by making up any old story that entertains us with RATS. Here are a few starter stories to get you going. Feel free to go ahead and make up your own. The sky’s the limit. (but keep it clean, please!)

 

Instead of calling the other driver an idiot, moron, selfish creep or something stronger that we’d rather not print on our cheery website, try these RATS:

Maybe he or she is:
A confused tourist from Croatia, Indonesia or France
A klutz who’s just spilled hot coffee or a refreshing ice cold drink in his lap
A super hero on the way to save the day somewhere who forgot his cape
Heading for the nearest rest room and you don’t want to know why
An alien from a faraway planet with no traffic laws
A kindly dog owner on the way to the vet’s office, whose Irish Setter is already having her puppies in the back seat
A brave witness on the way to a big murder trial who thinks he’s being followed
An astronaut on the way home from outer space who’s still feeling a little woozy
A country doctor who bumped his head and thinks he’s a race car driver now

 

This is a start, but I know you’re more creative than I am and can do better.
