re: Anyone see this hit-and-run on Nicholson last night?

Nice victim blaming. I could kill another person if I don't pay attention while driving down Nicholson. It is only two lanes! I can kill another driver in a car if I do not pay attention. I can kill a motorcyclist. Are you saying it is a death wish to own a motorcycle

The hit and run guy is legally and morally responsible for what he did, and should be punished in accordance with the law.

But honestly, I travel La. 30 all the time and see bikers travelling north or South all the time. I shake my head wondering when one of these people will get hit.

The speed limit is 55 and heavy trucks and cars routinely drive 60mph. That's no place for a biker even though it is legal for them to be there. It's just too dangerous.

I am vigilant and try to give them a wide birth when I pass them by so that I do not mess with their "space" so to speak or startle them.

And being out there at night compounds the problem.

I don't have the answer, but bikers need to be more than careful. Personally I wouldn't do what they do.
