Yeah, way to stick it to all the inattentive drivers out there. Noone will ever risk driving distracted ever again. A person died because of this accident, so we better try to even things out by messing with the other person's life too.
Every time someone posts a story similiar to this one, everyone jumps on the post about how justice is served and hoping the accused rots in prison forever. If that is how you all feel, then fine, so be it. I just hope you realize everytime there is an accident caused by a sport bike rider, there is another group of people out there all saying the same thing about sport bike riders. About how dangerous sportbikes are, how reckless the riders are, and of how they should be banned or restricted on the road.
What happened to the motorcyclist is terrible. Though we all know death is inevitable, it is hard to say anyone is ever ready for it. That applies to both the deceased and their loved ones. I hope the rider did not suffer. I must say, we all know this could happen to either one of us and yet we still choose to ride. As tragic as this sort of thing can be, I do not think we should be vicitimizing the ones involved.
