One thing I hope for is that they’re being more thorough behind the scenes. I’m always worried when it comes to less typical vehicles like a scooter because I’ve seen many times where people are quick to blame the victim without actually knowing what happened.
But if they’re at all inclined to give someone the benefit of the doubt when they’re in a 4-wheeler, they should be able to extend equal prudence to other drivers until all the facts are clear. I don’t see why this incident would be an exception to that.
