[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 94087, member: 1912"] 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. [COLOR=blue]Very vague.[/COLOR] #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. [COLOR=blue]How many vehicles. How do you know speed was a factor? I didn't see that much detail in your post?[/COLOR] #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.) [COLOR=blue]No assumption made. I clearly stated that there was not enough information. You do conceed that the motorcyclist was passing our driver? [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]The point then again is could our driver have seen the motorcyclist trying to pass him in the mirror and did our driver clear his mirrors. We can argue the merits of this case until we are blue in the face but neither one of us knows so why are you trying to have this debate?
