“IMHO, a 61 year old woman driving drunk in the middle of the afternoon, killing a biker person, should live her remaining years behind bars. There is no excuse for this . . . “

Off point but a good forum to mention this:

Whenever I drive my car, I try to give the maximum room to motorcycles for their safety, I’ve ridden motorcyles and understand the dangers, but here’s my rub.

I’m an avid bicyclist who rides the country roads in Michigan. I ride on the right side of the road and/or the shoulder of the road. I would say that a majority of the car drivers I encounter are courteous, allowing as much distance as possible when passing.

Unfortunately, I can’t say that for the motorcyclists that I encounter while on my bike. It’s the exact opposite and many in that same group are either obnoxious or dangerous, zooming closely by.

My point, please show the same regard for others using the road that you expect to be shown.
