Police are still looking for the driver of a truck that killed a girl on her motorcycle here in the Austin area earlier this month. She was sitting in the turn lane at 9pm and a truck with a trailer slammed her from behind and threw her about 50' then fled the scene.
I've gotten in the habit of looking through my mirrors almost more than I'm looking ahead of me........even while I'm cruising along. I've always been pretty aggressive/defensive on my bikes but lately I've been REALLY cautious. I always have an escape route in mind. There have been several fatal accidents locally lately where drivers pull out in front of motorcycles so I just assume every car I come up to is about to hit the gas in front of me....
