What if that were a semi you hit? Would you be the dumbass for fucking around and risking your life?Absofreakinglutely, you can shine all the light you want on me and my past. It doesn't change the fact that he made a stupid move and paid the ultimate price for it. It does suck and I feel for his family and friends but at the same time you can't say good things for him about what happened just because he died. I mean just because Saddam Hussein is dead doesn't mean we have to say nice things about him. Respect for the dead is one thing, turning a blind eye to stupidity for some misguided morality is quite another.

Go for it. Let's hope I survive so I can sue your ass for every penny your worth. Deal?
Capitalj - I'm sure you've smartened up. Yes, he made a mistake. There was no reason to drive like that. But her inexperience is also to blame here. You cannot put 100% of the fault on the biker. Bottom line. End of story.

IF it were you in that situation, i'm willing to bet you would have enough common sense to let the moron biker pass before attempting to cut into traffic.
At the age of 15, you don't have that much experience behind the wheel.
My .02 is the inexperience has a factor in this whether it's a small amount or a large amount, it is still a factor.

I find it so funny that you are too dumb to accept the fact that she couldnt see him or judge his rate of speed correctly. I find it even funnier that your BLAMING her for not seeing him or his rate of speed, but he OBVIOUSLY didnt see a fucking ESCALADE? WTF is going on in your head? its a 6500lb SUV and he didnt see it to miss it? But wait, the girl didnt see something the size of 1 person doing 80mph during rush hour. Good god, its quite obvious that HE was the one not driving defensively, and HE was the one that could have easily avoided the situation. Therefore it was HIS fault
-
Where did I EVER say that he did not see the SUV? I didn't. So you fail.
I'm not blaming her for not judging his rate of speed correctly, I'm saying she should maybe be driving a bit more defensive.
Do I think he got what was coming to him? Yes. It was completely unacceptable for what he was doing.
But how about instead of saying it's 100% the bikers fault, how about you biker haters just look at the other side and realize that maybe, JUST MAYBE, a 15 yr old girl with a friend in the car was probably distracted by 1 of many things. Let me list them for you:
- Friend
- Stereo
- Cell Phone
- Changing CD
Want me to list more?
Don't get me wrong, I feel a huge majority of this blame is put on the biker, but as in ANY accident, it's not 100% his fault. She is at fault in some sort or another.

Bump for round two:

DILWORTH – Emergency responders have taken a 55-year-old Glyndon, Minn., man to a Fargo hospital following a motorcycle accident east of here.Patrick Fortier was headed westbound on U.S. Highway 10 at the interchange with Minnesota Highway 336 when he tried to avoid a jug of motor oil that was left on the highway, according to Minnesota State Trooper Jesse Grabow.
Fortier lost control and ran off the road, suffering cuts and scrapes to his head, Grabow said.
The plastic jug of motor oil had been crushed and vehicles traveling the road were transporting leaking oil onto the interchange, Grabow said.
Initial dispatch reports stated that a semi was involved in the accident, but were incorrect. A few semis were in the vicinity when the accident occurred, but were not involved, Grabow said.
Fortier was not wearing a helmet and his condition was not immediately known.
His injuries are not considered life threatening, Grabow said.
A Minnesota Department of Transportation crew will be sent out to clean up the oil

There again you are making assumptions on what the girl was doing. Based on the information provided we only know that she was involved in the accident and ran home due to shock after the fact and her dad then brought her back. Anything else is simply an assumption.
