Actually, I didn't 'jump' to a conclusion, nor did I take either the offending driver's or the investigator's word at face value; I used "street view" on Google maps to examine the road markings leading up to the intersection to check for myself. Later, I realized that I had misread the direction of travel in the article and corrected my observation in a follow-up posting (post 17).
gotcha! sorry if I took offense. some people are quick to blame the rider for the actions of the cager. but even if the rider tried to pass in a no passing zone, the cager was clearly wrong for his reaction.
if he think’s he isn’t so mean, he should go and look closely at the biker and the injuries he caused by his childishness. but it seems that we’re in agreement.
If you really stick your foot in it, it is considered good FR etiquette to hit Abuse on your own post and ask the mods to delete it, which usually happens quickly.
