DISQUS

“Our goal is to get drivers to voluntarily slow down in the work zone, not issue a bunch of infractions,” WSDOT spokesman Mike Dornfeld said in a statement.

Whatever, dude.

This guy should be strung up by his balls!

Sorry man, can't agree here. If the teen would have had insurance (which, you're right, he probably wouldn't have regardless of laws) the teenage girl's parents would have some recourse to recoup at least funeral expenses. Now they will probably sue the parents of the boy driving. Who win in that? Driving without insurance in any state or any vehicle is just plain stupid, IMHO, and can only result in financial disaster and should be required everywhere.

Well, since the 1st 3 are things that I have been writing my state reps about for years, how can you argue with this report? Education is key, both in class and on the road. There are waaaay tooooo many people going out and buying big bikes that weren't even that great of a bicycle riders when they were a kid!Make 'em learn how to do it or keep 'em off the road!

Derek Kilmer needs to be added to the good guy side. I've emailed him several times on rider's issues and he has never failed to respond quickly and favorably. Good guy to have around.

So when do we get to start seeing some public education spots like Great Britain and Aust/New Zealand are running with regularity? Yes, we must be responsible, but ask Ben Rothlesburger how much responsibility would have helped him. Just about as much as it would have helped me this evening as I avoided some woman doing a leftie in front of me, like I was never even there. This country has to start doing something to wake up the "cagers"!!!!!

Mark, I believe that we all know the dangers that are inherent in the decision to get some "breeze on the knees". We all also know that we accept this risk along with the joy that comes with riding.
I for one do not read these type of articles, as they serve no purpose except to excite fear that is ill placed. If a certain article "can serve as a "call to action" then there is a spot for that, but, personally, I don't need my shot of tragedy.
Course, what do I know? I haven't seen, heard or watched an organized newscast in over 10 years! (I'm still alive and having fun, too! Amazingly enuf!)
