This is why you be careful as heck in the city.......:

i ride a bike, those streets are the last place i would ride, just seems dumb, streets and hwys are for motor vehicles, stick to the bike path. you cant argue my point if your dead.

 

Originally cars had to yield to pedestrians. AAA was formed in part to lobby for the rules we have today. Hemmings had an article about it recently.

 

tired drivers racing to beat a clock, who wouldnt wanna b on the streets on a bicycle with trucks lol

 

I was under the assumption it still is that way and the way I'm going to drive. I guess i figure it doesnt really matter if theyre supposed to yeild to you or vice versa, can you live knowing you ran somebody over, no matter how dumb they were? I hate it when people go for their morning job down the shoulder of rural roads at 6 in the morning and it's foggy, suddenly they're right there in front of you and scares the crap outta you once in a while.

 

Very sad. But i wouldn't ride a bicycle in heavy traffic. I even get nervous on these country roads where we live. I watched toooo many folks forget to look or make a mistake. Such as this case. Real and present danger on roadways.

 

Old news... Bicyclist was at fault... And tragically it cost her her own life. And this lady was an educated woman, a doctor. Just goes to show even the smartest people can make mistakes.

 

During those 16 seconds the driver may have been looking in his left mirror as he was about to swing wide for his right turn... it’s a tragic event but appears the dr should’ve seen the right signal light

 

This is tough because I'm a trucker and a cyclist so I want to defend both. The truth is I cant defend either one.

That cyclist was unfortunately way too trusting of vehicles, and that driver is a moron.
