I saw this on Kare 11 and couldn't believe some peoples stupidity

I don't ride or own a motorcycle but this makes me scared to.

The guy that hit him was obviously drunk off his ass. Why they hell would you run away from your car that is registered in your name?!? Did he think that the police didnt have access to the DMV. Sounds like wisconsin to me.

Wow I passed by the softball tournament that night at erins corners on county road T and G Its a huge drunk fest and It was after 10 when I passed there and the softball tourney was still going on.
This sucks Why is it so hard for some drivers to look ahead of them and see a bike or a headlight or a taillight anything.
Also a guy you guys might know from University his name is Pete went down a few days ago Pulling a scond gear wheelie with no helmet or leather which is really rare for him he had his front teeth removed from his upper lip and has broken all the bones in his ankle and his tibia and fibia wont walk for close to a year they say.

Sucks to be the guy driving the car.

[sleepy2lazy]

the driver = jail in life or for an incredibly long time.
License suspended or both hands cut off.
he doesn't deserve to drive.

Some people see a bike coming on and they think it is a car a long ways off. The single headlight makes them think a car is a long ways off and both headlights look like one. I agree that he was drunk and should be shot.

Some stupid whore in a Buick Century almost hit me today. It was a 4 way stop, the car to the right of me turned right to go my direction, so I started going, and the car behind the one that turned just kept going. If I had accellerated a little harder she would have taken the front of my bike off.

I hate people at four or three way stops. They do not understand the 'left' rule. Were the first person that makes it to the intersection first goes first. Then the person to there left goes and so on. Or if you are facing the person going. You can go if you are either going straight or right. If that person is going left you stay there unless you are also going left. How fucking hard is that. And there is no hey the person in front of me stopped for the both of us rule. Some people need to go back to driving school.

Well not only that, but she went right behind the car that was infront of her (The one that made the right turn to go my direction) without even slowing down. Then gave me a dirty look as I slammed on my front brake to avoid getting in her way.

I've been bike-less for almost two months now and man I wish I could ride again, but damn there has been quite a few bike accidents recently. It's a scary feeling that you might be next because you ended up riding near some dumbass. I hate how some people are so blind to bikes. I know they're small, but they arent invisible.
When stuff like Kevin described happens to me I always get pissed off. It's like "WTF, you're pissed at me because you almost hit me when it was your own fault in the first place!" Sometimes I wish I had marbles in my hand =P

When I was going to school at Dunwoody, I usually carried a bunch of marble sized rocks in my coat pocket. Just so if someone was following me too close and not backing off, or if someone almost hit me, I just drop a couple and oops, they have either a cracked windshield, or a few chips on their bumper/hood.
