    The Idiot cops need to stop f-ing saying at a high rate of speed if an a-hole driver turns in front of them it doesn’t matter how fast they were going. It’s the drivers fault not the motorcyclist stupid bitch turn left in front of my son and nothing happened to her because they said he was at a high rate of speed bulls-t. She turned into her f-ing driveway and she killed her daughter too. I’m sick and tired of these goddamn cops, saying at a high rate of speed, it doesn’t f-ing matter. It’s the other person‘s fault.

    (Ed. Note: We know nothing about another person being killed).

    1. I am so sorry for your loss. My brother was killed on his bike in the same exact way, a man turned into a Naval base directly cutting him off. I believe he also died instantly. My family was never the same. My thoughts are with you and please don’t let yourself listen to any of the trolls that will post horrible things anout “ all bikers do this or that”. He was your aon and no his life mattered.

  2. I have seen alot of motorcyclist driving at high speeds. Also they cut in-between cars while they are at stop lights just so they can be first. Then they take off down the road like a speed demon. I am surprised that there are more accidents. Helmet or not, it will be fatal if they are in an accident.

  3. So very sad. Happens all too often. I have passed several of these accidents. My husband saw a fatal one. He also lost a co-worker who lost control and hit the side of a gas station in Ft Laud. I had a co-worker who lost her son. He had bought a motorcycle secretly, and hid it at his girl friends house. 2 of my family members both owned motorcycles, and both decided to sell them soon after. Both had close calls soon after purchasing them. I myself have almost hit a motorcycle 2 times. One time was at sunset. It had no lights on, and I didn’t see it, as I pulled onto a road. Luckily I was able to stop. Another time on US1/Federal Hwy., the motorcycle driver was driving between both lanes. He looked like he was in the inside lane; so I turned into the outside lane, where I was honked at by the motorcycle driver. So scary. I have warned my children to never ride on a motorcycle. You are traveling with your body instead of a car. Just doesn’t make for safe travel. I told them their mom will always help them buy a cheap used car instead.
