Motorcyclist killed in truck collision at Pymble

Wednesday, 03 December 2008

I'm told paramedics refer to motorcycists as 'organ donors.' It is an inherently unsafe method of travel. Cheap .. but dangerous.

As a truck driver and a bike rider I'm not surprised to see this coming. I won't point the finger at the moment as we don't yet know who's at fault but it scares me the number of times I've come close to collecting a bike under my truck when some of these "Evel Knievels" dart in front of me and think 20 tonnes of truck can stop on a thruppence...plenty of cars too for that matter. Part of getting a licence should include spending a day riding in a truck to see what hazards we have to avoid.

happy fun ball - please remember that someone just lost there son/brother. Motorcycling can be dangerous because car drivers dont look out to see whats about. And yes I ride a bike and drive a car. Lez - sorry but if you cant stop your truck in time for something, then it means you are travelling to fast for the conditions. Remember that idiot truck driver in the M5, he whinged that the car stop too fast in the tunnel so he couldnt stop in time, it was proven he was just travelling too fast.

My partner and his family were the best of friends with the rider who died.People need to watch out for motor bikes....its so hard to judge what it will take for the rider to slow down to avoid collision if a car pulls out in front of them, does it really that make that much of a difference to wait until they have passed? Well yes it does, its usually the riders taht come off second best. These accidents happen because other drivers are constatnly cutting them off and cutting in front. LOOK OUT

My mister has 2 motorbikes, 1 to ride to work, 1 to enjoy riding. when he is on the work bike (postie) people always try to get in front of him, or don't see him (even with bright colours on). When he is on his Harley he doesn't seem to have any dramas....i find this very interesting!!!!

hurt my mister,maybe it's because you can usually hear a Harley before you can see them,I know that with most jap bike's you don't hear or see them until they go past and usually they scare the shit out of you when they do..

If everybody would just slow the F*** down, things like this would be rarer. I ride and I drive, IMHO the fault lies with Civilisation in the whole. Everyone is blind to humanity, no patience, always going flat out like they're late all the time. I've been collected once to date, right of taken, the bloke apologised" sorry mate, generally I look both ways".? WTF?!! This seems to sum up the pop. in general. Phones, music, kids everything taking concentration. Back up people, breathe concentrate

My brother was the rider that died in that accident. HE WAS NOT AT FAULT... The driver was driving a 4x4 ute and he pulled turned across the lane my brother was in to turn into a drive way... The driver is being charged for neg driving and manslaughter - i hope he rots in jail.
