Motorcyclist Killed After Turning Into Semi Truck’s Path

Both operators had some age on em. Maybe the rider thought he was quick enough with that wick.
Thats a sad story

 

Motorcycle turns into the path of a semi. What does age have to do with it? Motorcycle turns into the path of a semi... what further investigations need to be looked at?

 

or cataracts, or glaucoma, or macular degeneration, or any other health issue.

 

It's a sad story

 

There are a "few" motorcyclists that ride in a safe manner and observe traffic laws, very few. No matter if they are 18 or 88. I guess I have just "stirred the pot". I hope!

 

There *WERE times* in Trucking when I DID NOT SEE A MOVING MOTORCYCLIST yet did not inject myself into their paths.
Sometimes, the Bright Star encapsulated the Motorcyclists especially those scientist Motorcyclists that never had their HEADLIGHT(s) ON. Look twice, then again.

Motorcyclists of today remind me of my riding characteristics in the latter 70's/early 80's in suthun Calikornholio as well latter 90's in the Tarheel.

 

Me first.
