Response to Mack and Shay: Your comment is well made. We responsible motorcyclists call those idiots “squids.” They are a minority still, examples of Natural Selection waiting to happen.
My comment: Use an appropriately narrow brush. The leading cause of motorcycle fatalities, nationally, is a car or truck making a left turn across a motorcyclist’s right of way.
There are two who race north on Pine Forest rd, every early evenings weekdays.
Have you ever been on the interstate or 29 when they come flying up from behind you? OMG……about give me a heart attack!
My wife and I have been close to being hit by motorcyclists traveling at a high rate of speed. EX: I-10 between Hwy 29 and Pine Forest Rd – just last week a cyclist was using the center lane line as his right of way. According to the Florida law it is illegal to “operate a motorcycle between lanes of traffic or between adjacent lines or rows of vehicles.” Move to California if you must travel like that. Driving the 70mph speed limit on I-10 and cyclists flying around us and out of sight within 10 seconds. That is extremely dangerous to everyone on the road.
I see bumper stickers constantly “WATCH OUT FOR MOTORCYLES”. You ain’t lying because they don’t watch out for us. Stop and wide open is how they travel.
Prayers to all involved !
PRAYERS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED AND THEIR FAMILY….
Our roads have become a free-for-all where motorcyclists pop wheelies, race, and are a menace to other drivers. Let’s bring our FHP back from the border and put them on the streets where they belong!
