I agree. All it does is start a massive thread of people all trying to guess what happened, and trying to aportion blame without having the foggiest idea what actually transpired. P.S. I have it on good authority that the accident was caused by Col. Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.

I wonder quite why "legal u-turn" is in there. Just to make it the rider's fault rather than saying "the bus driver wasn't looking"? It is possible, of course, that the rider was speeding and the driver didn't have a chance to see them. Seems unlikely that has been established without doubt.

Having said that they'd be very unlikely I suspect to claim something that wasn't the truth as that would only hurt their aims in the slightly longer term.

It's whether it was legal in the "and they only do it when the road is clear" sense.... Zebee >> Stay informed about: Motorcycle sidecar passenger killed in crash
