I only know that there was the T-boning because I saw it in my rearview mirror and heard the crash. She wasn't going particularly fast, but it looked like a bit of damage. Because of the 'left side of the road' driving, she hit the driver side of the car in the other lane. I don't know what the final results were. But this was in a busy shopping area in the middle of a new housing development. The police would have been on the scene within minutes.

Most older motorcycle riders constantly play 'what if?' while riding. Here's the road ahead.. what if a kid runs out over there? Where would I go? Or, it looks like there may be a hidden side road up ahead... what if a car doesn't stop at the intersection? What would I do? The power lines look as if they are bending around a blind curve ahead. Which part of the lane should I be in to get the fastest information about what's coming? There is a Motorcycle Safety group on Facebook that puts up a daily photo of a road situation, and we all make comments about just what we're seeing and how we'd play it. I learn a lot that way, and it keeps me just a little bit safer. I regret that I have but one life to give for my pleasures.
