[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1400854, member: 19880"] I just looked that up. There may be some reporting bias but they also say that speed was a factor. I think it is too early to say for sure. [URL="https://q13fox.com/2018/07/11/2-people-on-motorcycle-killed-in-collision-with-car-on-sr-104-in-shoreline-state-patrol-says/"]https://q13fox.com/2018/07/11/2-people-on-motorcycle-killed-in-collision-with-car-on-sr-104-in-shoreline-state-patrol-says/[/URL] Maybe squids on sportbikes at whatever speed? I don't know if that is the case or not but a high speed on-coming motorcycle may not be seen in time. Or even if the driver saw the approaching bikes, it may be difficult to judge the rate of approach. I'm not defending either the driver or the possible news reporting bias. I will be watching this one to see what details come out of the investigation. [/QUOTE]
