What the Hell was the motorcycle rider doing at 85 MPH? If she pulled out
in front of him, it must have been on surface streets. No-one pulls out at
90 degrees to traffic flow on the freeway where this speed is more common.
The motorcycle rider takes some responsibility in this crash. It could have
happened to anyone pulling out on a public street if a maniac is doing 85
MPH in a 35, or even 50 MPH zone. No-one would have had time to react. I
am VERY careful driving my motorcycle on surface streets. I don't speed and
I slow down at intersections even when I have the green light. Cell phone
or not, this can happen to any motorcycle rider at any time.
