Without more information, it’s impossible to draw a fair conclusion about what happened here. Some folks, however, may have already made up their minds. A lot of people automatically blame motorcyclists for accidents, assuming all riders are reckless daredevils. It isn’t that riders never make mistakes, but I know that most riders are safe drivers. As such, it’s important that the evidence has the final say. If authorities haven’t been careful to focus on the facts, they might allow too much room for people’s biases to take over.
