That facts are she turned left and he ran into her. This isn't even news worthy but a motorcycle was involved so the media spices it up to bring more negativity to the riding community.

The majority of you just said you pass on a double yellow all the time....

Guess you're only an idiot for doing that if it doesn't work out for you.

I was thinking along the same lines, Tigger. Regardless if he's at fault for not though, he still makes it seem pretty damn hard not to point in that direction.

Oh I know, I just like stirring up the self righteous hypocrites here.

I'm sure none of them have ever passed in a no passing zone... of course not.

Oh I have...not that you were addressing me

BUT when you take that chance and you fail...it's on you. I just find it funny when everyone automatically defends the biker and blames the person he slammed in to...when again...it was a no passing zone...he played...he lost...time to pay the piper.

Ok...what if that was your mother...sister...or "woman" in the car ? Two sides to everything I guess.

Can anyone tell if that was a GSXR ?

CBR900RR... see if he had been riding a fast bike, he might have made it!

If my mom was out driving drunk and she turned into some dumb ass making a stupid pass, I would still try to see both sides. Honestly. There are several sides to this story. I like how some dumass on this board jumped up and condemned this guy because of all of his traffic violations... I'm like whoopie doo!!!

That would be correct like in this case...killing someone.

It's not wise to pass in a no passing zone and especially when there are potential left turns that others may take. That's one reason I for one don't pass on a double yellow all the time.

When I do...I make sure there are no places for anyone to make a left in to or for anyone to turn out of. Passing more than one car also raises the risk because what if one of them also decide to pass on the double yellow ?

So, you're just as bad. You've just been incident free so far..

The only difference being, he had a car pull out in front of him. You haven't yet...

Edit since I can't seem to make this site work properly from my phone or work..

I would also like to point out, that you're likely to pass several cars in a no passing lane. This is due to cars bunching up. If they weren't bunching up, there's usually no reason to pass aside from wanting to haul ass.
