A chilling reminder for all of us!

A friend of mine sent me this today.

 

Its very easy to become complacent. As we start riding more, watch out for the other guy.

My dad in law sent this too me a couple months ago. Looks like the car ran the light.. but on a bike... you can still be right and be dead!

 

I think the numerious professional driver training courses I had to take when I was a commercial driver has saved my bacon many times with cages and bikes. This biker made a fatal error. He did not clear the intersection before he tried to drive thru it. It didn't matter that he had the light.

 

I think the "cops" on this site would agree. Take a defensive driver's training. It will help you stay alive because it will teach you to think.

 

One last note.... 3 separate crashes, two were friends a one was an acquaintance. The acquaintance died. One friend died. The last was a man and wife...last year... in the

Smokies. They suffered a broken leg for him and stiches for the both.

 

ALL 3 CRASHES WERE DRIVER ERROR!

 

Moral: You only get one chance to do it right... the first time.
