Pelham police Lt. Gary Fisher said Friday that investigators believe Hawksley was in a legal passing zone at the time of the crash.
The motorcyclist was NOT AT FAULT. The teen was trying to PREVENT him from passing...............
To you cyclist out there,Please don’t get me wrong I say prosecute the kid for attempted murder,but at the same time these motorcyclist have to use some sense as well and operate their bikes in a safe manner.
I have NO wish to have the death of a motorcyclist on my mind for the rest of my life because he wants to do something stupid. I have No wish to be involved in his suicide.
If I see someone driving stupid, I just shake my head and maybe sing the @sshole song by David Allen Coe, and pray that he has a meeting with a trooper or deputy and have some sense talked into him. If the stupid is really bad and I have a plate, I call it in - which I have done. The only time I will aggressively pass is if the other driver is going dangerously slow (35 in a 65 for example) and I want to put as much distance from him as possible.
Just because a few daredevil idiots want to show off their bike’s undersides does not make all motorcyclists suicide jockeys. There are millions of law abiding cyclists that do not want to live fast and die young................
