A friend of mine in his upper 40's who has ridden for the last 20+ years, and who is an active advocate for safe riding etc.. Was killed last November one Sunday morning around 11am. He was doing 30mph in a 30mph zone, when a lady coming head on in a SUV didn't see him, and pulled right in front of him. She was taking a left into a driveway or something, he had no chance at missing her, and he died on the spot. He was a very experienced rider with a lot of track experience both on bikes, and in his NSX and two 911's. It doesn't matter who you are, THEY JUST DON'T SEE YOU.
