Another rear-end accident killing a Spyder rider :(
This was just published a few minutes ago on Facebook by a friend Daniel R.
In a little more than a week there has been yet another death of a fellow Spyder rider due to being rear ended by a driver.

Prayers out to him and the family.

Texting or Napping. My advice: continuos flashing tail lights or continue pumping brakes when stopped, Bright colors etc. Anything to get there attension or WAKE them up.

Tragic
Hit in the rear I'd think you'd not have much of a chance even if at very low speed. My condolences to all involved.

I believe that in Japan; "Not seeing the other person", is grounds for arrest...
Perhaps we should take an active interest in this approach??

Bob, in the UK, if a vehicle is hit from behind it is always assumed that the driver of the vehicle failing to stop, adequately slow down
or failing to avoid the vehicle in front is at fault.

I think that's the case here, too. Even if the vehicle in front steps on the brake suddenly, if you hit them from behind, you're at fault because you must have been following too closely.

Killing other people is also against the law but people still do. Cell Phones and texting is no different.
We need a device that blocks out cell coverage in all vehicles when the key is turned on. Same applies to drugs and booze. Politicians won't touch this. It should be mandatory.

Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?

So sad, and yes here in Mexico if you hit someone from behind you are at fault, you go to jail either way here....until the hairy mess gets figured out.

RIP and prayers to family and friends for their loss..... L & D

Seems that the lady has already been judged here for something that hasn't been proven yet.

I think it has been proven that she rear ended the Spyder. You are always at fault in any state when this occurs.

I'd have to go back and re-read the article...
Didn't this happen in Canada?
How does their legal system generally handle this situation?
