Awful. RIP

Seeing reports & videos of motorcyclists plowed-over at lights reinforces why I always watch my mirrors, keep it in gear, and stop to the side/angled a bit behind vehicles at lights until a car is stopped behind me.
First learned it when a blue-hair in a caddy almost took me out my 1st year, but I was lucky to see her & was clear to punch it in time.

Not surprised. Of course it is the motorcyclists fault for being stopped at that light when that truck obviously had the right of way. They should have known better. Dirty rotten stinking motorcyclists, making the road more dangerous for those careless drivers.

Really? Geez.

Yup, blood be boiling...

Geez, really? The riders got too close to the truck? Nice wording, indeed.

It also says the motorcyclists struck the truck, not the other way around.

Blood. Is. Boiling.
