I think is this incident: [Albany, New York News, Weather, Sports | NEWS10 ABC](http://www.wten.com/story/15246960/fatal-motorcycle-accident-in-troy)

RIP to the rider.

It is another intersection accident, don’t care who is at fault at this point but if you are on a bike you should take EXTRA precaution and effort to do everything you can to minimize your risk.

Slow down at all intersections would be a good start even if it is green for you. You will be amazed how many people will try to make a left at the last minute and then not complete the turn because they realized they won’t make it, now you have a car smack in the middle of your lane. A motorcycles have a very small silhouette compare to cars, it is very easy for people to misjudge our speed when we are coming in the opposite direction.

Full gear ALWAYS helps. Stay safe and alert.

Really? No offence, but how is that even her business?
