+1...if the person, "A-Girl" is in deed who she says she is, he was swerving in and out of traffic, cussing and flipping people off....not to mention stopped at the light....The girl says she called 911 because she was scared...
It will most certainly be interesting how this all plays out.

Sorry! I wasn't being a SmartA$$!
LOL, wasn't insinuating that at all.....I was lazy and didn't feel like reading all of it and it bit me, no biggie
Wait so are you saying that in your opinion, it wasn't his medical condition that caused him to yell and flip people off in addition to murdering 2 young women? You're just so harsh.

You know what else I'd do if I were In Power:
I'd make all of these sorry SOB's that cause accidents to go and personally apologize to the victims and to witness the hurt and harm that they cause. Every day, they'd have to go to every re-hab appointment and watch the victims go through their agonizing therapy and recovery.
And to those victims that die, I'd make the SOB's be present for every second of the autopsies.
People think "oh, well, I caused an accident and someone died/was maimed, etc."......
What these thoughtless people who cause these accidents tend to forget is that these victims had rich, fulfilling, and all-encompassing lives. They were loved by their family and friends, active in their community, loved by their church and work associates, and so forth. The accident doesn't just harm the victim, it hurts everyone in that victim's far-reaching circle.
Their injuries and death have VERY far-reaching implications. The accident didn't just ruin their day, it ruined their LIFE.
And, yet, the SOB's who caused all of this are virtually unharmed. That is so unfair.

They wouldn't care. They'd just sit there bored and yawning, daydreaming until it was over and they could go toss back a few beers.
If I had The Power, I'd strap 'em to the chair and be done with it. Buh-byee! No hard feelings, ya hear?

Why should his relationship to the victims change anything?
If he/she caused the accident that caused someone's death/severe injury, he should be responsible for going to the autopsy or going to their re-hab.

Truth be told, I'd go with the instant death method myself. The person who caused the death of another person should die, particularly when they were deliberately and wontonly reckless about it.
Lawyers and judges are such cowards to not impose justice on these SOB's.
In my opinion.

OH yeah... I agree
just making a statement aside from yours.. seeing that it looks like he is a father
how would the "family" feel if his actions caused the loss of life to his child?

This comment and situation made me think of a man's story that I came across while looking for the caring bridge page of someone I know involved in an accident recently. I don't know this person but his story is heart breaking, particularly the driver at fault's actions since the accident. It's long but the link on the page "Dear Teenage Driver" is a pretty good summary of everything they have had to endure....
The Clausing Family - ClausingFamily.com
How people can have no recognition or not care of the impact their mistakes have on other's lives amazes me... and their story is also a great example of how botched up the legal system really is

Wow! That is just awful! It really is unforgivable that so many accidents such as these are caused by driver's who have mulitiple traffic violations. If they revoke the license and are caught driving anyway, it seems to me they ought to be jailed, or otherwise confined (how about house arrest?) to prevent them from hurting so many others.

I bowl overhand
The story that is posted is sad for the Clausing family, but I don't see what the other driver did was illegal or dangerous.
It happens all the time, people just don't see motorcycles. I'll give the SUV driver the benefit of the doubt and say she didn't act maliciously, nor intentionaly tried to make him crash.
You can't say the rider was at fault, but there are a lot of things riders can do to help prevent someone from NOT seeing them.

Did you read the same letter that I did? Because I see all kinds of fault in the driver that caused Ryan's accident, as I see all kinds of fault in the Callaway accident's driver.
The bastages that cause these accidents need to be held accountable for the devistation they inflict on innocent people.

Thank you for sharing this link. The story told is very compelling, especially because I know of someone right now who is in for an agonizing recovery from a very horrific accident.
Again, thank you.

I'm seeing both sides on this one. We should hold drivers accountable for not being aware of their surroundings so much that they cause a wreck. Piloting 4,000lbs or metal around should require a certain amount of SA.
And saying "we know drivers don't see bikers", to me, is akin to saying "politicians lie to get reelected", then reelecting them. Acceptance of a bad thing enables that bad thing. Punishing those who demonstrate that are not aware of their surroundings is one way to not accept that excuse. And failing to yield to a vehicle on the right of way is illegal, she turned in front of him, Bob.
The biker, on the other hand, while in the right, is in a chair for life, and that's a crappy way to be right. Was he anticipating courses of action in case that SUV did cut in front of him, making plans in case it happened? We will never know. but if he wasn't, he should have been. Still might not have saved him, but might have.
