Her lifes about to take a dramatic turn for the worst.

No, riding without a helmet may be ill-advised, but it definitely isn't that. This man's death, helmet or not, is the responsibilty of this stupid girl.

How is riding a motorcycle at 65+ MPH without a helmet not stupid?

I'm not going to argue the helmet thing because opinions are what they are on it.

That said, I've never known someone to go down with one that didn't end up having a hell of a ding somewhere on that helmet that would've been in their dome instead. I've also never known someone to go down with a helmet that would ever dream of getting back on a bike without one.

The good news is that they still have the option...

PR is right though, the real cause here is the bitch in the cage that couldn't be an adult behind the wheel of a 2-ton projectile.

One can only hope.

I'm betting she gets a little shock time and a fine.

The penalties in situations like this are entirely too lenient.

How do you know that wearing or not wearing a helmet had anything to do with this? I'm not going to shit on the thread with this stupid argument, sorry.

Kansas usually doesn't charge people for killing people on motorcycles by accident. I know this for a fact.

Possibly. Assuming she has a conscience she will be racked with guilt for the rest of her life. Much worse than any conceivable punishment that the state of Kansas will hand down.

A couple of weeks ago I almost got sideswiped by this assclown in a BWM SUV. He was doing something on his phone while it was raining and veered into my lane causing me to gun it and swerve almost off the road to avoid getting hit. I laid on my horn beside him and rolled down my window screaming for him to pull over. Had he, I would have crushed his god damn face in. People need to put their ****ing phones away while they are driving. And if you are on a public highway you don't have privacy. I am minding MY business.

Yes, choosing not to wear a helmet rockets your risk up. Yes he chose to accept the risk. Yes it means a minor accident can suddenly become a fatal one.

It's sad because this is not an atypical teenager. She was doing what all the rest of them are doing. In my opinion we need policies like other countries have that make it much harder and more expensive to get a license.

There was contributory lack of common sense on both sides. Not all bad things have a clear "your fault."

Not to divert this thread, but how do the youngsters refer to the act of opening/lowering a car window?

Do you refer to it as "rolling" it down?

ROFL Really?

What?

I swear I'm going to get one of those cell phone jammers and install it in my car. ****ing people on their phones....

Bob Dole had a friend who was killed 2 summers ago by a woman who ADMITTED she blew the stop sign because she was texting.

She got a ticket for running a stop sign. All his friends got to go to a funeral.
