[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 93976, member: 484"] Tie If the cycle was traveling at hi-way speeds and the driver started her turn, what the hell does checking her mirrors have to do with it. If I turn left and go across the other lane of traffic, am I to wait patently for the traffic behind me to come to a complete stop before I move out? After all, that is what you are saying she ought to be doing. Right? And that is assuming that he was to the center of the road to where she could even see him. Then add to the the mix the very high possibility of the cycle speeding. Coupled with the road view, was it straight or curved etc etc. Getting back to what we do know. She was in the process of making the turn when he struck her. Now why would he do that unless he was about to strike the car anyway from the rear. Or maybe strike a car that was behind the truck? Or maybe, as you well know happens, was trying to get himself killed? While there are too many unknowns, I still think she did everything she was taught to avoid the accident. And while i regret the loss of human life, telling her it was her fault because the accident is avoidable is a bit much. d PS Ah.......No! ;) [/QUOTE]
