That didn't work very well, did it? I really do hope the guy was OK, it looked like he was wearing full gear. The new kevlar protection inserts are amazing and it looked like he had them on. People are starting to rely too much on, and TRUST, technology. I'm treating someone right now, (and CC's wife was hurt!), for injuries sustained when a bonehead backed into them using the rear camera and warning system which failed. What's wrong with paying attention and watching what you're doing? Rich

Clarification here everybody - my wife hurt her hip on Memorial Day and I was taking her for an MRI when the Benz backed into me. She wasn't hurt in the accident. Rich - what kind of vehicle hit your patient?

Warning to all - if they can't see a big SUV in the backup camera, they sure can't see us on scoots!

ok i DO feel bad for the rider but.... he did not look both way's b4 he pulled out, it was his own stupid actions that made that happen!
just a good lesson to us all,no matter what the tech is we must rely on comen sence and our own eye's,ear's,smell,(yes even smell) and touch,when in a car or on a bike !
my older brother told me b4 i got on my 1st dirt bike these are the rules for riding,
1) never ride a bike you cant pick up from it's side alone
2) commen sence is key to staying alive
3) having a little fear of riding will only highten the sences(just dont let it rule the ride!
i have laid down offroad bikes and 3 wheelers but on the street those 3 rules have kept me alive for many many years!
happy highway's
