No fires but the poor buggers that got damaged by them seem to be on a waiting list for support. C-19 has overwhelmed the news mostly.

One of the last interstate rides I took on a motorcycle (my R65) was in 2011. I remember crossing a deep valley on a high bridge and feeling a wave of panic I had never felt before. It seems, when one looks to the side to take in the view (sightsee), the bike tends to follow one's glance. It scared me.
I had to quit partaking before riding a LONG time ago, but since I have been on Boxerworks. That shit REALLY messed with my equilibrium. Stopped me from having seizures, though!

In my car, I never worried much about my belly - it's seems holding onto the steering wheel does the trick, but I've never taken family members out rallying. :)

In rideshare driving, I saw something a long time ago that said to drive like your grandmother is in the back seat with a large vessel of hot soup in her lap.

It's called target fixation... If you aren't aware, you go where you look...
