Local rider died last night

[tommymac]

maybe the driver was on the phone or something like that, guess we will have ot wait and see. I needed to pull over on the bike the other day and was making an extra effort to find a spot away from the traffic just to avoid this sort of thing.

Im sry to hear that. That really is a sad thing.

How horrible!! RIP I hope they figure out exactly what happened. Charges for the driver that killed her are a good thing... well, usually drivers that hit/kill motorcyclists aren't charged.

Right, because riding and talking on the phone are just that much better?

I don't actually have an answer for this, only a question:

Who do you trust more? Yourself, with the added distraction of the phone, or the unknown person that just may or may not see you, and perhaps run you over with a bus, had you instead pulled over?
