[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 94086, member: 484"] Tie What you refuse to understand it that the article did give you enough information to understand that checking the mirrors is a mute point. #1 the cycle was in the wrong lane for the direction of travel. That is a good indication that he was passing the vehicles in front of him. The main reason for that maneuver would have been excessive speed or a total lack in focus driving down the road. #2 In keeping with #1 to pass vehicles that are stopped in front of you, you usually have a good head of steam going when you pass. You can pretty much rule out that he had stopped for the traffic and then decided to pass on the left side (and not the right which would make sense.) #3 OK, she cleared her mirrors. The cycle was traveling at a high rate of speed and when she checked her mirrors to clear the path, he could have been anywhere from 500-1000 feet or more to the rear of the car. So what are/were her responsibilities seeing him coming up from the rear that far back. #4 The fact that he was passing her on the left is a very strong suggestion that #1 is a fact, and the fact also remains that he hit her hard enough to become a fatality. That is very rare when you are traveling less than 25-30, but instead is very much in keeping with the high speeds that are indicated. As to your comment of that is very childish of you. Yes, we attempt to teach the drivers as much as we can to keep your eyes moving, leave yourself an out, make sure they see you, to aim high, and getting the big picture. But it would seem that the driver did all those things. And as for , you betcha!:lol: After all, that is the only reason you have a job at UPS! d PS, there are two p's in that word BTW:wink: [/QUOTE]
