Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2007Why would the lead biker face charges ?
Two riders tried to overtake a couple of cars, whilst the lead biker made it, the second had a head on collision with on oncoming bike. The paper says "it's understood the lead biker could face charges". http://tinyurl.com/363ouc http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/news/tm_headline=2-bikers-killed-in-head-on-ho rror&method=full&objectid=19685695&siteid=66633-name_page.html The Herald mentions that the second rider lost control of his bike before taking out the unfortunate oncoming rider. http://tinyurl.com/2ve8tq http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/news/display.var.1643561.0.three_bikers_killed_i n_two_crashes_within_half_an_hour.php Can't quite understand why the lead biker would face charges, I presume it's just artistic license by the journalist ?  SignatureDonald > Two riders tried to overtake a couple of cars, whilst the lead biker > made it, the second had a head on collision with on oncoming bike. > > The paper says "it's understood the lead biker could face charges". he's the only one left alive to prosecute. Probably "Dangerous Driving", based on the testimony of the car they were overtaking. -- d. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Donald <Firstname_Surname@hotmail.co.uk> saying something like: >Can't quite understand why the lead biker would face charges, Charges?

Not really , no. You can juggle chainsaws without incident , but that doesn't make it safe. SignatureAlex "I laugh in the face of danger.

I guess the second rider definitely was driving without due care and attention. Sounds like the oncoming rider was too. > If not then it ^^^^^ what ?

Or maybe one of the riders was on the wrong side of the road? Seems like rider number 2 was riding beyond his capabilites and ran into the poor f.cker coming the other way on his own side of the road.

He went for a gap that turned out not to be there, he most definitely was beyond his capabilities. Easy to get sucked in though if you are not paying attention. I don't like to do it unless I have been on the throttle for a moment or two before the lead bike has and if I can't do that I don't follow the move.

It was in response to the statement about the oncoming rider driving/riding without due car and attenetion. I'd say no amount of attention would've helped in in the circumstances. > Easy to get sucked in though if you are not paying attention.

My pal did exactly the same thing (following a bloody fast rider he knows) but in his case, the only damage was to his Mille's Acrapovich race system and his pride, but it was luck, not good management that let him walk away from it.
