Daniel was well aware of the law and the law of physics, as almost all seasoned motorcyclist are. It was his hobby and what brought him through many trials. Thought process or not, opinion or not, law or not, a life was lost, and that brings unbearable pain. A wife left a widow and two children left fatherless.

It sure is easy for us to spit out all kinds of things when it’s not someone you know or not your typical behavior. Seriously be kind, it’s free and goes further than any dollar or dime you will ever have.

glad witnesses saw, in typical fashion, the motorbike speeding. Otherwise, the so called failure to yield is unfairly sucked into a legal wrangling not of their making.
