I absolutly understand what Moby is saying, the way the story is written makes it sound like the cyclist was at fault, which he very much was not. He did everything he could do to avoid the collision, but the woman in the car left no room. I don't need to wait for the whole story, I saw it. And the story in the crime section, Beth Wheelock says the cars driver was cited. I can think of several citations she should get, inattentive driving, failure to yield, oh yeah, how about leaving the scene of an accident. Just because a guilty conscious makes you return, leaving is still leaving.

>>>>>>>Police say the car was northbound on Washington when it turned in front of the motorcycle. The motorcycle then hit the car.<<<<<<<<<<

Once again the report is slanted to make it seem like the motorcyclist is
at fault. The Car Turned into the Motorcycles Path,, it is the car drivers fault, and if the biker died, the car driver would be charged with "inattentive driving",,,what a crock!!!
