allI can say is wow on soooo many angles, first being the damage, second being the stupidity of doing so in an area that this could happen in. NO action taken? Here in the states, his family would probably had to bear the burden of sue hungry people...

I think what they're saying is, with thier calculations, he didn't take any action to lessen the impact, as he drove towards them too fast.

Stupid sometimes fixes itself though. Too bad they sometimes take others out in the process.

crap like that makes me so mad. some dumb moron thinks hes a professional bike racer after getting his liscence then goes off trying to get some bragging points and kills two innocent people and himself in the process. his parents should be put in jail for raising such a moron.

I feel bad for the family of the people in the VW. Cant really say anything for the car pulling out in front of the motorcycle as they probably didnt see him. As for the motorcycle rider....shame on him and shame on his momma and his daddy for not teaching him better. I wonder what the last thing to go through his head (besides his azz) was.

And that's why I enjoy my F150. Lotsa steel does not make me invincible, but it does make it harder for a moron to take me out.
