What was I thinking... you're Mike and nothing is ever your fault. Hard to be "holier than thou" when I actually admit my fuck ups.
Sorry... I just don't buy that you have no responsibility when you hit the person in front of you. It may have been unavoidable given where you were, I'm questioning what got you there in the first place.
That said, it doesn't sound like that accident was a factor of you being on a bike so I don't think it's fair to lump it into "motorcycle accidents caused by stupid cagers." I mean couldn't I blame my drop on the minivan being there? If it wasn't I wouldn't have been in that situation... but really it was my fault for leaving myself open to it.
No need to rehash your whole thread. I just see Andrew's accident a bit differently, that's all. He was doing everything right and still got hosed. I don't think any of the rest of us were.
P.S. - Your confidence interval still sucks.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
