While I do not take anything away from the cage-driver's guilt and obligation to punishment under the law... but do you think there could have been a chance this bike-rider was "ripping-it-up" with fast acceleration and speed to where "he came out of no-where" from the driver's perspective?
Again, I am not defending her, nor condeming the biker... just wondering if the rider was doing that or not. Quite frankly, I have seen that happen to me before; to where a bike comes out of no-where rather fast -- enough to startle me... and if I hadn't been paying extra-close attention there just might have been a collision. Anyway... don't want to start any arguements or fights here with the question... I was just simply wondering... ;)

I hope the person is punished severely. She deserves everything she gets. But even if she was hung, drawn and quartered,...it won't bring back the poor bastard on the bike. That's what makes me so f#*king mad.

Happened to my father-in-law in 1963. He was riding a scooter home from work and a drunk killed him. The sorry drunkard got 26 weekends in jail (so he could work and provide for his family). My mother-in-law had to raise four children under 9 years of age. The "blessing" was that the drunk was driving a company truck and my mother-in-law cleaned out the company's insurance on the claim...didn't bring back a father and husband though....26 weekends...that sucks!

They still haven't held the trial for the meth-head dump truck driver who plowed into 8 bikers and killed 4 of them a year ago.

One thing I am concerned about is the medical marijauna law they passed in AZ last fall.
While it would be nice to know that people that use it responsibly, I have major doubts, especially from some of the comments I have heard from people who are already shopping doctors looking to find one who will issue a prescription. |

CJ, I understand that, but I suspect there will be some idiots that will be looking around to get more stoned than normal, and drive under the guise of a prescription.
In other words, more of them on the road. Hope I am wrong, ( I have been known to be wrong once or twice). |
