Out here all it takes is a bunch of enraged and seriously soused rednecks in a pickup truck and you might end up lying in the street badly hurt. Either from a fist or a front fender, or both. The dudes in the truck will have vanished without a trace. My first club ride after moving to California a pick-up truck driver, enraged that he was delayed by a line of cyclists on a narrow road, hit two people in the club. Fortunately the injuries were minor. And while it was a hit and run, he was quickly apprehended. There have been multiple people killed on that road. One by a quarry truck driver, two by a sheriff's deputy. The quarry truck driver got a year in jail. The sheriff's deputy did not time, claiming he fell asleep. http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_8513728 |

If so, better yell "Danger! Danger!" about driving as well! And then there are the pedestrians... Oh, it's a scary world all right! - Frank Krygowski |

[...] Yet road positioning has been proven to work, and you refuse to use that. Yeah, it works to kill people instantly. Like a rider out here. Car slowed to turn left, the following driver thought she'd just move into the right lane then and pass ... "Oh no!" ... SCREEEECH ... *BANG* ... cyclist dead. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
