Motorcyclists Are Always in Danger

Gerald Pitts of Winter Haven suffered serious leg injuries on Saturday when his 2007 Honda motorcycle was struck by James Hill driving his 2007 Chevrolet pickup.

After being struck Pitts was pushed into another truck. Mr. Hill left the scene and was found later. Mr. Hill was charged with leaving the scene of the crash with serious injuries. There is some discussion that Mr. Hill drove through a red light and struck Mr. Pitts. Apparently, Mr. Pitts was not negligent in any way but has suffered serious injuries. Motorcyclists must always be on the lookout for other vehicles.

The motor cycle has a serious disadvantage when faced with the weight and steel of today’s cars and trucks. By the same token, car drivers must be constantly aware of their surroundings. Human beings were designed to process information while walking or running. Going at speeds many times greater than the fastest man can run requires a lot of work from our brains, so don’t over tax them.
