I'm going to guess the motocycle rider wasn't giving enough attention to the truck behind him that wasn't giving him enough attention. Seriously, do you want to avoid getting rear ended? Keep aware of the traffic behind you, especially at a stop.
People need to think of allowing a motorcycle to have the same amount of space that a car would have. But instead its pull right up behind them to get that extra couple of inches of space in traffic, etc.
I always do Jesse, even when I'm not riding the bike. I also try to give myself space to escape if I have to.

Deletemy cousins son was hit from behind twice last summer, once in his tacoma, once in his recent birthday present classic Mustang. It totaled his Mustang.
DeleteIn my 45 years of riding motorcycles from Hondas to Harleys I always kept the bike in gear and an eye out for a safe escape route.

ReplyDeleteI doubt it will be any shock or surprise to anyone that I think most people in traffic suck.
