>>Odds she was on the phone, texting, or drunk.<<
If she wasn’t cited, that is unlikely.
I have seen how skateboarders act — as if they are invulnerable and own the road.
I know where my money is on who was responsible for this tragedy.
It wasn't that I thought I was invincible. It was that adrenaline was pulsing through my veins because I was in a tough place.
Lucky I am not dead.
That said, my comment was a statement on my experience of late, still biking (32 years later). Have been nearly hit on numerous occasions. Folks on the phone or texting.
And I now live in a small town in South Georgia.
