There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What
With that type of intent, it would have happened wherever they were! The guy is an ass, and are you trying to say he was just teaching him a lesson? Sorry the double yellow had nothing to do with this!

The double yellow line had EVERYTHING to do with this incident ! If the rider had NOT passed on a double yellow line he and his passenger would not have been injured, just slow down pull over if you have to but it's just not worth your life. I will agree and I hope the driver does time, but if the guy passing had obeyed the LAW it would not have happened. My wife and I got ran off the road by a 2 wheeler going up to Yosimity this summer and she almost ended up in the ditch and it was a double yellow line. I looked all over the Park for the Ba****rd but could not find him.

Driver was arrested yesterday on 2 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

While obeying the law would have probably saved both of them from a lot of pain; the driver of the car should NEVER have crossed the yellow in an attempt to cut him off. That was a criminal act; as opposed to a traffic infraction.

I'm glad the driver got arrested, and I know that society nowdays feels no need to accept responsibility for their actions but the bottom line here is that if the ridier had OBEYED the LAW no one would have been hurt, and as for actiing "minorly stupid" that is total BS I have to call it Majorly stupid and caused his rider some serious pain. There is NO justification for what the idiot did. Just as there is absolutly no justification for what the driver did. But I think its wrong to put the entire blame on the driver.

I never said the driver of the car shouldn't be charged.. re read my post. As far as the double yellow line having "nothing" do do with it, if he obeyed the law and didn't pass illegally, this incident would never have happened.

Well, I called the charges. Assault vs. Battery is different depending upon state definition. In FL, assault is up to actual touch, then it becomes battery.
If the rider hadn't crossed the double yellow it wouldn't have happened? ?? If the passenger had...whatever. If they had stayed home, took a different road, left earlier or later if, if, if. The only place that will matter is the civil trial in reducing the award slightly.

I had been thinking the driver should be evaluated mentally . . . the constant "I don't care" seemed odd. But reading more about his history, I think he just needs to be locked up where he can't hurt anyone else, and upon release, never being allowed to drive again!
Let's take this to the extreme.
Pedestrian crosses against the light, outside of the crosswalk - clearly a violation. Car swerves to hit her.
To all those that think the biker was partially at fault, where are you on this one? Before you say, Does not apply, or, Not the same thing, I'll say it is only a difference in degree. Just how much of a violation does one have ne have to commit before they are partially to blame?
I see several orders of magnitude between a $50 traffic violation and intent to kill. yes I am aware he was not charged with an offense including intent to kill. It just looked like that to me.

I don't think the biker is partially at fault. Weather it was or wasn't passing zone, I really think this idiot driver would have swerved regardless. However, if the biker had obeyed the traffic laws, it wouldn't have happened....
I really hope the jury doesn't belive his spider story.

Your grasping at straws, clearly not the same, In my world you are accountable for you actions in yours you are not , it is someone elses fault, lets just agree to disagree.
No, that would not be true.

easy-
That redwood you are driving through. Do you think that was there 60 years ago? I remember something like that. As I recall we drove the car through the hole. Western Oregon would have been the right area. No, it wasn't me driving. As someone else said, I may be older than rocks, but I am younger than sand

depends
Depends which trial. Criminal--mostly not a factor. Civil--a factor in the total monetary award.
