Failure to Yield The Right of Way, Truck pulls in front of Bike and sends another rider to Hospital this time. Play a game with your Kids, play Spot the Bike when driving your kids anywhere like Punch buggy used to be. You will train your kids to be more aware, alert and sport Motorcycle riders their parents Don’t Look for at all. I have a right to complain as taken out in 1980 by Drunk Driver who failed to Yield Right of Way
I agree with you that people don’t look out for motorcycles, but we also know not everyone but there’s a few idiots riding motorcycles doing wheelies passing on yellow lines doing stupid stuff
My wife saw this guy driving stupidly, way too fast and in and out of the traffic. Then bam.
I ride a Harley so I know this type of riding will not end well.😩
Do you know the color of the bike
It was red.
My wife witnessed the same recklessness
The rider was riding recklessly and was the the cause of the accident. My wife witnessed this just before the crash
