In that case she should've been charged with negligent homicide. She left the traffic flow and re-entered it without checking for other traffic. Did she even signal to give the biker a chance? A driver, bike OR cage, is supposed to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Anyone who thinks it was the biker's fault in that particular case is a piece of sh!t.



Well FJ, THIS "piece o' excrement" being SUSPICIOUS of why that yo-yo pulled over onto the side of the road for no apparent reason, would have SLOWED DOWN until he got past her.

(ya see, I've learned this kind'a stuff after 40 constant years of riding these things)

Yeah, it WAS the lady's fault alright, but it almost always takes two to tango...err...I guess TANGLE, in this case.

And as I said earlier(and which you seem to agree)...we ARE "second-class citizens", because we CHOOSE to use a means of transportion that is inherently an irrational choice in regards to the "safety aspect" of travel.

Ain't "fair" alright, but that's the mindset of the vast majority of citizens who drive automobiles.(we're "out-voted") They feel that we are idiots for our choice.(they may have a point, ya know)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
