That's where a helmet camera comes in handy. Remember, if a REASONABLE person believes his/her life is in danger or he/she is about to suffer great bodily harm due to the actions of another it is legal to draw your weapon and open fire.

I told him since I got injured (and especially because its my knee) I can't do that, he understood. Besides that, hes admitted hes had other accidents and worried about losing his license, and I kind of think he deserves to lose it at this point.
The thing that really gets to me, is after I told him to watch where hes going, and how motorcyclists have it bad enough, he said he understood and that he used to ride a motorcycle, but stopped after he went down. It made me think, **** man, you used to ride, you should know better, but then again, Idiots are gonna be idiots no matter what they drive.

Wondering if go pros should be required instead of helmets.

So just an update.
Replacement parts are on the way, and she should be back up on the road by late next week. The paint repair will have to wait until I get the bike back home to BC in Sept.
Also, I received a call today from the Police officer who was handling my accident report. She called to tell me that the dumbass will be getting charged, and will be losing his drivers license, as he only has 1 demerit point left.
One less idiot on the road.

First glad to hear it wasn't worse, bike can always be redone, our body's sometimes not.
Sad to say that as time goes on there are just too many distractions and non-alertness by a lot of drivers.
I now wonder the wisdom of auto makers of putting a lot the Electronic gadgets in the middle of the dash-board.
WE know what the cell phones have done, but with so many new cars having a built in computer screen I think that could lead to a lot of problems of drivers taking their eyes off the road also.
