so preventable, too bad your son didn't obey speeding, you have to remember if your on a vulnerable vehicle act like you are invisible, it has saved my bacon many times, and i've been hit whilst cycling, so i know it fucking sucks, i bet that driver will never rush a turn again!

I agree. His lack of respect for traffic laws and safety are the direct result of his death. The driver that turned had planned his day out and killing somebody probably wasn't on the agenda. This cyclist has affected many lives because of his recklessness.

I'm with everyone else here who says the biker is to blame. I find it odd that those who defend such reckless bikers seem to think that car drivers should have 100/20 vision, but it's totally okay for bikers to drive several times faster than they can see or think.

Did you notice how David's camera didn't see the car until it was too late for him to react? Well, *that goes both ways* when you have a vehicle going as fast as David's bike was going: It literally comes out of nowhere. So it really kills me that the mother would say, "I hope motorists learn to look," because she's literally expecting motorists to have superhuman vision under such circumstances. It's ridiculous.

Bottom line: Dude was an asshole who placed his childish little adrenaline rush above the lives of everyone who had to share the road with him, and he got what was coming to him. I'm just glad that no one else had to pay for his stupidity.

Ma’am, your son was an asshole and died because of it.

Riders need to stop being idiots on the road, and drivers need to look twice.

What does "Done up" mean in this context? Did he not have a helmet on, was in on but not fastened or was he intoxicated?

Speed limits apply to all vehicles on that road, not just cars. Motorcyclists often seem to think they have their own set of rules - weaving in and out of cars, squeezing between them, undertaking, and driving at crazy speeds like it’s ok for them because they’re on a bike. I don’t get it. Then when they are travelling at such a speed on an A road that’s full of hazards and crash, it’s somehow other drivers’ fault when they are giving themselves and everyone else no reaction time or stopping distance.

I have only sympathy for the car driver here who has to live with this forever, as well as the family of the biker.

Biker bellend. Can't blame car driver. Maybe did check but narrow profile of bike hindered seeing or likewise maybe sun in eyes? Either way too fast you two wheeled twat. Now you're dead. I also notice you didn't get off the throttle and brake at the same time you rolled off the throttle and then thought about braking twat!..are you incapable of riding properly? Evidently

I’m also disappointed to read the car driver got a sentence for this. If one person is going at a bannable speed like nearly 100mph surely no one else on the road should be seen as responsible for a collision.

If a car hits a pedestrian at 100mph it isn’t seen as the pedestrian’s fault. The speed this guy was going makes everything his fault automatically because it’s a dangerous speed. His visibility is already compromised being on a small slim streamlined vehicle - they’re harder to spot than larger vehicles and bikers know this. He’s the vulnerable one here - why should everyone else be looking extra hard for him when he drives like a tool? Think bike think twat.

Jesus christ I know the guy died and that sucks but I can't stand people who drive like this and endanger others. So good riddance
