it is a stay out of jail card , I didn't see him .
four way stops , seems simple enough ,everyone has a stop sign everyone has to come to a stop .... crazy the number of crashes I see at these intersections . some how they cant see the other cars , don't know how to wait their turn , amazing.
people don't give a SH#T , they get into their machine and anything but driving is on their mind.
their are visual challenges and the human eye can and does get fooled at times ..... Estrasil said it very plainly , that driver just turned in front of him , that driver never gave a thought to see what other vehicle might be in that space , and the worse happened .... Estrasil said that there was a vehicle behind him , so the Subaru driver shot the gap , he might have waited a couple of seconds and turned in behind the second vehicle , but that didn't happen .we have all seen folks shoot the gap , they have stuff to do. I'm going to work in a few minutes , my job is to drive , it will be in a high traffic area of Austin Texas , most people I see and I can see from my perch , are on a device . I've even seen them watching videos as they drive . yep they are not going to see you . not even if your in a 80000 lb truck .
accidents do happen . what bothers me is since there have been cars running over bikes is the easy out of 'I didn't see him". mostly it's I really didn't take the time to make sure no one was coming . but that admits fault , and that's just to honest for most .
and what if I or you had been at that spot in time and place on your bike , he would have said to the officer I did not see him , but you or me on a bike in that spot in that time , unthinkable.
CW, im not mad im just very passionate about this , they get a pass , we get a trip some where we don't want to go.
