[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1557605, member: 28388"] I used to investigate accidents and determine liability. Based solely on the limited info in the article, my guess is that the feeder driver had a left green arrow that didn't last long and turns to a regular green light at which time the oncoming traffic gets a green light. Feeder likely didn't complete his turn by the time the biker got his green light. Biker sees a green light and is probably looking at his buddies in the side mirror and drops the clutch/twists the throttle. Millisecond later realizes his path isn't clear and bam/crunch into side of trailer/wheel/pavement etc. P.S. I agree. It's legal to go without a helmet in CT & NH but I always wear a helmet. [/QUOTE]
