The whole function is to go as fast as they can."
Bullsnot! if that was true why was he only going 80?!
You didn't read the article, did you?
If he was going at 80mph in a 25mph, he was at fault.
He was going 80 in a 25 zone. Yes, it was his fault. Even if she was up to speed (25 mph), he would be closing at 65 mph.
"A Suzuki racing bike screaming at 80 mph in a 25-mph zone"
Yeah, read the article. It's the rider's fault.
I'm thinking you lost your marbles in an accident. If the bike was going the speed limit, she would no doubt have had plenty of time to cross the lane. But a small bike going at that great of speed would be asking for trouble. I understand defensive driving and the importance of watching for motorcycles, but this is completely the bikers fault.
Any accident that involves a vehicle doing 80 in a 25 is at least partially the fault of the guy doing 80.
Ask any rich personal injury lawyer who specializes in car accidents.
Where does it say she pulled out in front of the biker? It's just unfortunate the punk took somebody with him.
"typical anti-rider story. She pulled out in front of the bike and he's at fault?"
If he was going 80 in a 20 zone, yes. And I say that as a rider - when someone pulls out in front of me when I'm going faster than the posted limit, I assume that they probably looked and didn't see me, or saw me and judged from the distance that they were safe to pull out, based on the speed they assumed I would be going.
Great screen name.
Johnny Carson used to have a bunch of names he used. One was Joey Bagadonutz.
