Re: Female Bike Passenger Dies After They Hit an AUDI at High Speed
Agree. I`ve had two cousins killed in two different cycle crashes. Each time some dumbass in a car pulled out in front of them. People are very negligent when it comes to watching out for motorcycle riders.

Re: Female Bike Passenger Dies After They Hit an AUDI at High Speed
Terrible...what a shame. But to my eyes it seems evident by the amount of damage to the auto which was going very slow that the bike was way too fast. Seems like a combination of elderly driver possibly misjudging the rate of speed of the bike and the biker not expecting the driver in the car to turn. And as is such in these cases many times, the person who had no say in the matter is the dead one.

Re: Female Bike Passenger Dies After They Hit an AUDI at High Speed
the old car vs bike argument again  the fact is, there are dickheads amongst car drivers, truck drivers and bike riders . . . . and many times, those most vocal are the problem learning how to drive/ride, showing respect for others and self preservation are 3 arts that have sadly been neglected on our roads :) |

Re: Female Bike Passenger Dies After They Hit an AUDI at High Speed
I always assume that every single person, who is driving any kind of vehicle, is trying to kill me or is at least blind - unless they give some signals that would suggest otherwise.

Re: Female Bike Passenger Dies After They Hit an AUDI at High Speed
Not bikers fault at all.. Speed was less than 50 mph. It's the stupid red Audi driver's absolute fault and he is responsible for the death of the biker... Changing lanes, direction or turn Will make the priority for the incoming traffic and you MUST WAIT till road is clear.. Waiting mean: stay in your lane, and not half way inside the incoming traffic's lane.. Stupid geriatric driver  |

Re: Female Bike Passenger Dies After They Hit an AUDI at High Speed
I'm not taking any sides here, but that biker WAS going to fast for having a passenger on his bike and he most likely was going over the speed limit, and yes, the car should have payed more attention.
