And again another Biker dead because someone wasn’t paying attention and turned in from of him.
Can’t help but wonder was she yacking on her cell phone….
Isn’t texting illegal? I see it all the time. Watch people weaving. That women should know better, should give PSA on tv and radio. Granted if the biker is reckless, stupid, etc but the other is just a matter of paying attention!
She was texting?? Do you think he dies instantly??
She was texting? Do you think he suffered??
