I'm a biker and a car driver and have seen plenty of idiotic moves by other bikers
Ever wondered why you normally hear that comment????
I can not see anywhere in this report that the driver pulled out in front of the biker. I suggest you keep your crass comments to yourself.

Firstly would say best wishes to the rider and what I say is just my opinion in general and not connected to this accident. Trouble is when the weather is good all the part time bikers come out and drive like idiots. They think they can handle it but tragically sometimes they cant.
Exactly the comments you would expect to see from country yokels. More used to farm tractors than machines. If I`m ever in court I hope some of these carrot crunchers are not sitting on the jury.

Isn't that always the way, when they are the ones that pull across the road in front of the bike? 'I didn't see you' is the usual comment, while they have a bit of a bump, and the rider is seriously injured or dead.
