Motorcycle riders also need to be cautious, most of the time the appear out of nowhere.

Bikes need their own lane!!!!!!! There need to be better laws to protect them

longbeachUser2101834001Feb 24 at 10:39 PM

@LunarS1 how about just look before you change lanes. And keep ur music down. It’s people in cars who cause the crash 99% of the time.

MacdonaldsIsHumanMeatFeb 24 at 7:34 AM

People need to watch the f out for motorcycles and not drive like a holes. Share the road. And check your mirrors at least twice for bikes before hard fast merging into another lane. One or both of them was probably just running late for work and in a hurry. Now one is dead and the other has to live with this on their conscience forever.. if they even have one anyway
