No matter what we do those mistakes will happen. Do you think who was at fault matters to the kid who’s dad died on a bike ride?

Somerimes its better to keep your mouth shut than open it and reveal so much about yourself.

But hey, my brother and his friends ride so its okay if I call ALL motorcyclist underinsured, obnoxious, stupid, etc.

Oh... they all are included, and my bro doesn’t disagree with my stance at all

Also he was only checking his GPS.

I did say those things... and supported them with objective logical evidence....

So you almost killed a guy and you're angry at him about it? Okay.

No, I pulled in front of a guy doing exactly what I’m supposed to do so who’s at

Why do we need to assign fault? Was he doing something wrong? Or should we use this example as a reminder that we all

John Doe

Totally agree with this... there really is no fault that is exactly what I mean.

Pretorian

Well, except that you aren't willing to accept any responsibility for the incident.

The driver who enters a lane of traffic is at fault for an accident stemming

Is that you trying to come up with a response to my iron clad logic?

Pretorian

You almost killed someone. Try taking some responsibility.

Phasor

My mirrors were fine, I was anticipating a lane change as any responsible person

Pretorian

Just admit you did a poor job in that moment and resolve to do better.

Phasor

Reality is, I did not do a poor job, I did a better than average job... could I

It shouldn't be this hard to admit a mistake.

So you almost ran over a motorcyclist and you're blaming it on him?

bricej13

7/19/18 9:09am

i think he was saying the biker could have been using GPS.

smokymountainrain

It's surprising that such high-quality prose could be misunderstood

bricej13

Makes sense. He could have been texting while riding too.

I know 3 people who died on motorcycles. It was 100% their fault.

When I rode, I'd assume everyone else on the road was trying to kill me.

The launch over the car was driving through NY in the 80s. I was a teenager

You think the data in the link is a stereotype? You think driving a bike issafe?

Pretorian

So you dramatically change your OP and then come back with such a retort?

Hank Rearden

7/19/18 4:09pm

I removed the obnoxious part bc I agree that was too far reaching
