> Guy at my work is a fireman for Clifton Park… 5:30AM got a call for a rider down. Grooms and Miller road. 2 way stop. Bike was in the right of way, car went through the stop sign, rider hit the front end and went over the hood. Was conscious and alert, but in a lot of pain. Speed wasn’t an issue, rider only flew 50 feet or so. Thats all I know.

Sorry to hear…

It doesn’t matter if the biker was in the right of way, if a bike and a car have an accident the rider will lose 100% of the time. Every intersection is death trap, just saying, if you “assume” people will obey the law, just be prepare to bet your life on that assumption.

Double check, confirm visually and wait that extra 10 seconds if you have to.
