As a motorcycle rider: Yikes!

We had a an unfortunate accident on a club ride. A bike went into a deep pot hole full of water. The bike flipped over on top of the rider and killed him.

How very sad.

Husband was an avid motorcyclist - he always had one, the bigger and louder the better.

He also took all the safety classes offered by the CHP, was certified to teach those classes as well so he was an expert rider.

I told him I wasn’t worried about him on the bike so much as I was the other drivers out there on the freeways, given what I’ve seen on our Mad Max freeways and streets - speeding, running traffic lights, weaving in and out of traffic and high speeds and more. Why I carry coverage for uninsured drivers on my insurance.

Their car is described as a gold or tan-colored four-door sedan.

I know! I know! It was one of those new Tesla robotaxis that keep crashing, killing people, and bursting into flames!
