CO has started to toughen up a bit, but not enough for my tastes. At least texting while driving is illegal and we have the '3 feet' law. Of course, just yesterday I was buzzed by a guy on a motorcycle, and when I spoke to him at the next intersection he not-so-politely informed me that regardless of what the laws say or what I may think, I do not have a right to ride a bike on a road. He knew about the law, but just didn't give a damn. |

Many years ago, two couples were killed on Blood Alley somewhere between Los Banos and the other side of the pass, not sure where, but the driver told police she was looking down changing out a cassette music tape when she hit them. That has got to be one of the most incredibly sad cases out there. But while this is sad, drivers are increasingly engaged in multitasking gadgets nearly all the time. According to Frontline documentary, our new generation are multitasking nearly all the time and are not learning to focus on any one thing like their parents were taught. Pretty scary concept for bike riders out on the asphalt frontier. The nurse who hit me was on the wrong side of the road, and I believe she was fiddling with her cell phone. |

She was txting or some other **** up.
I remember the days when cyclists were only killed by drunks and assholes in trucks. Now any mother, salesperson of teenager can kill one at will with practical immunity. I'm sure the txt she was writing to her BFF right before killing him was totally LOL and worth another persons life. |

The nurse who hit me was on the wrong side of the road, and I believe she was fiddling with her cell phone. --------------- Saw that frontline too. What was scary were the expert multi-taskers thought they were doing very well at it, but the tests showed they were doing each task poorly. Tried to do multi-tasking myself, and it sucks, but I least knew I was doing a poor job on each, but it is amazing how people think they can do it. It's the same old story of how a drunk thinks he drives better after a few, but put him on an obstacle course and he flunks. |
