“Please, please, drivers! Check your blind spots. Don’t follow any closer than three bikes’ distance. Don’t drive so agressively; you’ll get to your destination in plenty of time.”

You left out “wear a helmet”, which was also left out of this report, as were the injuries which killed the poor fellow - I do not think Wisconsin has a mandatory helmet law.

I agree with you, the woman should stay behind bars if she was indeed under the influence.....

I wondered how many posts it woould take before blame the victim crept in. A helmet is poor protection against an out of control or deliberate rammming or crossing into path with no notice by a car. Our family just buried a beloved member who suffered this fate. yes he was wearing a helmet.

I heard an emergency room doctor break motorcycle riders who had been involved in serious accidents into two groups, helmeted and non-helmeted.

Only he called the non-helmeted riders organ donors, and he call the helmeted riders quadriplegics.

Usually if a helmet is not mentioned, the rider had one on.
