True, but on the other hand...
” on a drizzly, dark night around 1:30 a.m. “
Sounds to me like everyone involved was an idiot.
NOTHING GOOD except possibly for one thing happens after midnight.
Hmmmm. I think I can guess why she wasn't given a breathalyzer.
The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
Shakespeare.
She was speeding even for ideal conditions, these were NOT ideal conditions. It's interesting she didn't call for help and neither did her cop husband who was driving behind her, it was a third party. No breath test is also highly suspicious. Smells like she's lashing out from a guilty conscious.
If she had done this to my family she would vanish. Forever
Yes, but words mean things and the word “RIGHT” gets tossed around waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much nowadays.
I also mentioned that idea in my reply but making allowances isn’t anything about RIGHTS. IF he wants to make that point he needs to use the correct and accurate words instead of declaring they have a “right” to screw up.
They are trying to claim victim status hoping not to get their asses sued. Trying to go for calling it a draw. We’ll drop our lawsuit if you don’t sue/drop yours.
Other cops are advising this guy to go this route. They talk about everything in terms of legal matters, amongst each other. I KNOW first-hand from cops in the family and their cop friends. They talk about how to screw over the wife they’re divorcing. They talk about covering each other’s stories in internal reviews and court cases.
I second that emotion. It’s tough.
And this is about as offensive as it gets ...
Yup, followed by authors and writers.
Which lawyer?
The one representing the family of the kid who was riding “dead on” with traffic at 1:30 am in the rain?
The photo at the end of the article shows that Brandon has installed a motor on his bicycle , these are typically between 50cc and 80cc engines ,, a bicycle so equipped can go as fast as 50mph ,, and the photo also shows that the bike has no front brakes... we don’t know if this is what he was riding that night but that is what is presented.
And I assume they are countersuing for harassment, pain and suffering, murder of their son by a mentally unsound creep, etc etc, to the tune of $10 million.
The driver’s nastiness in filing her suit makes the parents a shoo-in to win theirs.
It sounds like there was more cops on the scene besides the husband. This wild story might cause one of those cops tell the truth. It may have been a DUI and cover up.
I ride at night a lot.
Anybody who does so without lights is an idiot.
My bike’s light is 1800 lumens, car headlights are 800 to 1000.
Pretty hard to claim you didn’t see me coming.
I rode at night without lights as a kid, but I used residential streets and I assumed all responsibility for my safety. Back then, the lights were powered by the turning of the bicycle wheel...at least mine was. It could be seen from...20 feet, tops?
It’s only recently, with LEDs, that really practical hi-power bike lights have become available, especially at a reasonable price.
I hadn’t thought about that. LEDs ought to make a big difference. I ride horses now instead of bikes, but I don’t ride them at night on roads.. Unlike a bicycle, a 1000 lb horse will sometimes get ideas of its own about where to go and why, and my horse’s judgment is even worse than mine!
“Ah, her husband’s a cop, and was on the scene. Now we know why she wasn’t breathalyzed.”
You’ve had to much to drink, honey. I’ll follow you home in my unit. Nobody will bother you. Wink, wink.
THis is Canada. Probably in the Labour Party.
