There have been at least two collisions - one fatal, in this area in the past week and a half. Both caused by a rearending of the bike by a car.
I believe we will see more of this type of accident and I believe it is caused by cell phone useage / texting / etc etc etc. In other words, DISTRACTED driving.
Please watch those mirrors when you are waiting to make a turn or sitting at a stop sign/light. Give yourself an escape route!!
If you have a cell phone please do not use it while driving.

Keep in mind too, that a bike can stop much quicker than a car, if you need to make a panic stop to avoid an animal or obstacle in the road, that cage behind you can't stop as well as you can.

I have had texters drift into my lane a couple times in nthe last 2 weeks. It is BAD. Good advice to watch the rear!

There have been several reports of accidents from both bikes and cars 'crossing the center line'. Lets all be more attentive to our speed and the approaching traffic. Way too much happening on our local roadways.
