Default Re: Ouch, my poor Z28

I can understand why the police didn't give her a ticket. She was going through a green light legally and the the white Z-28 hit her. I'll tell 'ya what the police think.......they look at that obviously high performance Z-28 and think "Well, he was probably driving too fast in that kind of car anyway". It suck, but that's what they think. I've had similar accidents myself, and I'm tellin' you that the police probably think the Z-28 driver is more at fault than anything. It's a real simple rule police go by "If you hit something head-on, then you did not have control of your vehicle or were driving too fast." It's your fault. Let's replace that Z-28 with a motorcycle and you obviously have a fatality and two families suffer. When you're on a motorcycle, you've gotta assume that everycar you see in front of you is gonna pull out in front of you. That's also wise thinking when it comes to driving ANY car, and now the world is short one less neat RS Z-28.
