Not my fault that there are people out there who shouldn't be allowed to walk and talk on a phone that have licenses. And I can guarantee you that a pleasant conversation with somebody on the phone is far less distracting than an unpleasant one with the wife if she's pissing me off.
As for motorcycles, it's been said several times here, anytime somebody rides one he's putting his life at risk, especially riding without a ****ing helmet, and bears a certain amount of responsibility for anything that happens on that basis alone. Best rider in the world can't account for some moron suddenly crossing a lane into him, and there is just no protection.
If this guy had been in a car, he'd be sore and talking to a claims adjuster. That's just the way it is.

I have to disagree. The guy that T boned my van causing it to roll was simply talking on his phone. Not text, just talking. He was too distracted to see the stop sign and he put me and two of my children at risk because if his stupidity.
