It's not often that the car driver is charged after they take down a motorcyclist, even if they are clearly at fault or there is a fatality. I think it should involve negligent manslaughter charges for cagers who hit and kill pedestrians/bicyclists/motorcyclists, if they can be proven at fault or under the influence. Too many times it's just "assumed" the bike is speeding, and no charges are filed. And to those who say "it's a poor little old lady, she has to drive", I say bullsheet. If you can't judge closure rate and speed you have NO business driving a #3,500 weapon on a public road. Anyone remember the NADS program that was batting around years ago? National Auto Driver Safety program. I think Bob Dole's wife or somebody was spearheading it. It would require every two or three years you had to retest in a high dollar driving simulator. It would throw things at you to test your reactions, decision ability, courtesy, and responses. If you failed any parts you would require driving courses to keep your license.
Man does this country need this now.
Anyone know what happened to it?
