The fact remains, that if she was pulling out of a parking lot and he hit the passenger door, he was on her right, on the main thoroughfare, and likely had the right-of-way. If they were both on the main roadway, she left-turned or tried to cross in front of him.

Read the eyewitness account in #78.

"LBPD Public Information Officer Nancy Pratt tells LBReport.com that the motorcycle driver (aboard a GSXR-style high-performance motorcycle) was near the LBCC entrance/pedestrian crossing on Carson St., facing west between two cars (straddling two lanes of traffic) when -- the new witness indicates -- the motorcycle driver revved his motor, then took off "like a rocket."

Thank you for reiterating that part of the eye-witness account. Failure to yield? Please. *rolling eyes*

Tough to see in this instance, and yes, his speed is definitely a contributing factor. Can I completely hang this on her? No. On him, to the larger extent.

But the answer is not to blame the motorcycle for the actions of the rider, any more than it is to blame the rifle for a school shooting.
