[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 341165, member: 412"] Similar story, 35 MPH road, getting close to where it drops to 25MPH. Motorcycle coming up behind me 50+MPH. 1-ton crew long-box pickup in front of me 3-5 seconds, has his right-turn blinker on. I can see this all happening and I get a sick feeling as there's nothing I can do to "stop" what's coming without running into one or the other myself. I start slowing down, tapping my brakes. Motorcycle gets to me and decides to pass on the right, mustn't have been looking too far ahead, gets ~2 car-lengths ahead of me and he's out of room to maneuver completely out of trouble. He gets the bike slid sideways and pancakes the passenger's side of the pickup that's pulling into a business driveway. Motorcycle skitters off the truck, fishtails a couple times and the guy loses it in the parking lot. Motorcycle guy has some road-rash and is limping about but nothing seriously wrong. Pickup driver is a bit shaken as he didn't see/hear anything until he got hit. I waited for the police to arrive and gave them the play-by-play from my perspective. [/QUOTE]
