  1. Motorcyclist hit and killed

    in Daily Ride

    Posted · Edited by Strictly Street

    So, if the rider was traveling at a high rate of speed (to the point where said rider was not visible when she entered the intersection) it was the cage's fault?

    If it was dark, and the rider was traveling without a headlight and couldn't be seen by the driver, it was the driver's fault?

    Certainly I'm not disparaging the rider but there are at least TWO instances where the driver of the car would not be at fault, and your statement has no basis in fact - legally, technically, or otherwise.

    Please, if a meteor hit the car in the ass and pushed into the road...

    Or, if the unladen airspeed of a swallow was that of an African swallow while grasping a coconut by its husk.

    But, lets put that aside for the technically, legally part shall we?

    Ohio State Revised Code

    4511.43 Right-of-way rule at through highways, stop signs, yield signs.

    (A) Except when directed to proceed by a law enforcement officer, every driver of a vehicle or trackless trolley approaching a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering it. After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time the driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of roadways.

    (B) The driver of a vehicle or trackless trolley approaching a yield sign shall slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions and, if required for safety to stop, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering it. After slowing or stopping, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle or trackless trolley in the intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time the driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of roadways. Whenever a driver is involved in a collision with a vehicle or trackless trolley in the intersection or junction of roadways, after driving past a yield sign without stopping, the collision shall be prima-facie evidence of the driver’s failure to yield the right-of-way.

    © Except as otherwise provided in this division, whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one predicate motor vehicle or traffic offense, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of two or more predicate motor vehicle or traffic offenses, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree.

    Effective Date: 01-01-2004

    Um, yep, thats what I thought it said.

    Accident happened at 5:40 p.m, not dark yet.

    Speed was not mentioned, alcohol was not mentioned.

    Cell phone and/or texting was not mentioned.

    We can only guess at the reality.

    I'll guess the 60 yr old man was not going 200mph on a Busa with a burnt out headlight, just a guess.

    A traffic ticket is in order for this one.

    Isn't that what happens when it's car vs car?

    Why should it be different for Bike vs car?

    And there is that part about somebody died.

    How many times have people pulled out in front of you while you were doing everything right?

  2. 10 injured in multiple-motorcycle crash

    A quote from the article:

    Oregon State Police said the motorcyclists were riding in standard formation – two columns – when traffic ahead slowed suddenly. The two lead motorcyclists were able to avoid a collision by maneuvering clear of the stopped traffic, but the rest of the motorcyclists could not stop in time, causing a chain-reaction of crashes with the rest of the group.
    “I know some people say they must be up to no good: They were racing or doing something. But anyone who’s familiar with Harley-riding knows you don’t race a Harley, you don’t do tricks on your Harley. You just ride,” she said.

    Following distance might have been a factor, ya think?

    I believe the staggered formation is much better, even so extra room is nice.

    I never said he was at fault. What im saying is everyone need to be more vigilant when youre on two wheels because even if youre NOT at fault, accidents come out of no where. Nothing against the guy AT ALL, just stating something.

    Nothing against the guy either. The motor vehicle code clearly states when at a stop sign you wait till the road is clear before proceeding.

    Clearly, she did not do this.

    So, QED, legally, technically, she is at fault.

    Just sayin'

    1. jenkem 343 up, 158 down thumbsup.gif?1253318589 thumbsdown.gif?1253318589

    a fictitious drug. jenkem is supposedly made from human fecal matter and urine, which is left to ferment in a container with a balloon over the opening to collect the hydrogen sulfide gas that is released. kids across the nation are said to be huffing the gas to get high.

    The Police report is a keeper!

    We need to pass a tax on sewage to prevent this from happening, it's for the children!

    It takes a village to raise a child on fake drugs so we can tax the village to fix the problem.

    Thanks guys, you started my day off with a smile!

    And that, my friends, is why hookers are great. All the sex, none of the lip, and they leave when you are done. You have to learn to make your own sammiches though. I really like sammiches......

    Yumm sammiches...

    Back in 1990' date=' the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry and possibly our health plans to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey![/quote']

    Priceless!
