You seem to think you have a right to do the speed limit with nothing in front stopping you. Wrong. You need to yield to the vehicle in front. |

I'm sorry but the driver of the moving vehicle has a responsibility to operate it in such a way to avoid obstacles in the road. There was an argument that if a driver in front of you suddenly slammed on his brakes and you rear ended him, would it be your fault? The answer is yes of course it is. The rule is always to drive at speed which allows you to stop in the distance you can see ahead. If you can only see 20' in front of you, you should drive slow enough to be able to stop in 20'. Regardless of the posted speed limit. This rule is applied to adverse driving conditions and is called "driving too fast for conditions". Because the pavement was damp and Ed couldn't see very far, he should have slowed down until he crested that hill and could see farther ahead. Anyway, I'm very glad that he's okay, and per the other thread, that he's getting another bike! |

again I don't know about Michigan... but in Oregon... if your going to impeed traffic you need to have some sort of warning... ie flairs, reflective markers, people signaling... ect. and IIRC... impeding traffic is doing 15mph(or so) UNDER the limit... let me see if I can find that law |
