brianthainess Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 May I hazard a guess no headlight and no helmet. The pick up has perfectly good reflectors including a number plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is there for people to park safely, but it is the norm for motorcycles to use it. Which is sensible. As long as they pay attention, which for some is too much of a challenge.

Sums up too many of the members here unfortunately. so if what you say is true maybe she should have been even more careful and wore better footwear.....as you seem to know everything about her as i go by the pic and also the size of that dent from behind is stg insurers know all about in regards to speed.....so stating that no helmet was seen at sight is glib--or possibly fact vs your 'scenario" some can call it evolution or even how nothing is done as this is a daily occurrence..the lesson is repeated until its learned....fact look at that pic--in a area with businesses--not a highway and the damage to the bike-truck speed is obvious--hence the saying speed kills..once again....im not being cruel but pragmatic. maybe a thoughts and prayers is the correct response as ive heard that one over kids deaths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is often used as such and except emergencies parking in that lane is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
