Its that time of year again, bikes are once again on the roads and school is almost out, so the roads will be full again. So please remind all of the the texting people you know . . .

Thank you, JB.

Great reminder! I have already a hand full of very close call this year and it's only April

People who text and drive should be charged with impersonating a human being and flogged in the town square........

no close calls with TWO WHEELERS yet. but texters are really a pain in the butt.

To add to this, always always always check your blind spot. My cousin was on a bike with her husband a few years ago and they got clipped by a merging driver. They are both OK, but the road rash itself kept them both from working for some time,

Amen JB !!

That's a shame. Seems she needs to spend more tie locked up than that.

Agreed, but did you notice that the FIRST plea deal was for less than a year? and the judge refused it! IF this had been a jury trial and a jury sentencing , and me on the jury, I would vote for no less than 5 years!!

Yeah , please be careful , this was 2004 May 8:34 AM Yellow SL mercedes - Right hand lane yapping on cell phone

Im in the middle lane and see that - accelerate past her to get away

I stop at the RED LIGHT and check my 9 O clock - she smacks into me - sends me flying into traffic

it it was not for my ninja skills - a would of been road kill for a Tahoe

* this lady had enough nerve to call me later that day and attempted to pay me in cash for it - .....

Glad you came out OK on that one TinMan, not fun being a road statistic.

 

[evilspringer]

Glad you came out of it ok Tinman.
Had a lady cut me trying to change lanes on a rainy day. Those wide white lines are slick as ice when wet.
People were honking their horns while I was trying to pick my bike up off the road. They were pissed because I was in the middle of the lane and they could not get past.

thanks guys - ..... tell you the truth - i do NOT ride in the city - i usually plan a route OUTside - the City

I would have gone longer than that. Accidents happen, but leaving the scene is inexcusable and in my mind should be a homicide charge when a life is lost.
