Commentary

After any serious crash involving a motorcycle, my concern is whether or not authorities are being thorough in their investigations. Frankly, a lot of people are biased against motorcyclists. This can lead to shallow or incomplete investigations if officers jump to conclusions instead of focusing on the facts. So if police are being thorough and letting the evidence speak for itself, that’s good. In my experience, though, it’s not something anyone should take for granted.
