Yeah.

Guess what's been the only thing that's mattered in the news here for the last day or so?

I believe it.

Is it true he didn't have a valid license, either?

We'd be far, far more sympathetic if he'd had a helmet on. As it is, part of me still says "The other car supposedly cut him off to turn left", but the rest of me says "and that's why you wear a helmet!"

That's what I heard on the radio while driving home. Don't know if it's true or not.

Doesn't Pittsburgh have some mythically weird local left-turn custom?

I've heard occasional mention of some (at least notional) Pittsburgh Left Turn.

[alathaniel.livejournal.com]

That would be "asshole making left turn decides to charge instead of waiting for oncoming traffic"?

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

[nachitor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, though a helmet isn't always going to save you at motorcycle speeds.

True, but I'll take a higher chance of protecting myself than a zero chance.
