accident experiences with law enforcement?
Greetings,
A quick question (at the risk of opening the floodgates :-)--anyone out there who has been involved in a traffic accident while biking and been unfairly blamed by law enforcement for the accident? The reason I ask is, while riding here in rural western North Carolina (USA), vehicles regularly pass me on narrow country roads while riding through blind curves (either curving left or right). Often when this happens, the passing vehicle will pull well into the oncoming lane, sometimes as far as halfway. I've been wondering what would happen if one of said vehicles hit another head-on. I can easily see local law enforcement sticking me with the ticket even though I was riding legally (on the right-edge of the lane and moving with the flow of traffic). Or am I being too pessimistic? Anyone care to comment or share a personal experience? Thanks for reading, Matt Hoyle (remove the Z's to reply) |
