A FSU tight end survived hitting a 2IS. The Lexus driver was cited for being the sole cause of the accident and basically failing to yield to the right of way.
This serves as a good reminder for all of us to double check for motorcyclists.

Speaking as a gearhead and a long time bike rider a lot of bike accidents are caused by the biker. Granted most people don't look out for bikes, but in the end it is the rider who has to be prepared. You cannot ride a bike like you drive a car. You have to look way out in front of you on a bike. Most don't and a fair number of them also take ridiculous chances. I watched one friend not pay attention in front of me and end his life on the tail of the dragon in Tennessee.
I was mainly a dirt guy and raced bikes from the time I was 5 until I was 25 moving from dirt to eventually road style. Three acquaintances ended up paralyzed for life and every one of them would tell you it was their fault for doing something stupid. I eventually gave up and stuck to sports cars and muscle cars. The street was just my cup of tea.

that bike shoulda saw him from so far away....
if you drive a bike you are responsible for other people stupid mistakes such as you would in a commercial vehicle.
always assume people are idiots and don't know how to drive. assume people DON't SEE you, and aren't anticipating that your splitting lanes, etc. especially if on a bike.
