I know OdBull but, if this set up was killing bikers left and right it would be part of the conversation. We would all know someone who crashed and burned while riding a CT on their MC. If I go down as a result of ridding a CT on my MC, please start a crusade to stop the madness. What the heck, just prohibit motorcycles all together. And while you are it prohibit all the risky sports and activities and while you are at it, make walking slow and swinging in a rocking chair Olympic sports.
What kills bikers left and right is lack of education and training both of car and bike riders. Most drivers don't even know what the "blind spot" is. Lack of courtesy and common sense while driving, both drivers and bikers. Pre-medication to drive and ride with drugs and alcohol. Distracted drivers operating their cell phones. Poor road conditions. Stupid intersection design. Poor signage of road construction sites and on and on we could go.
We are not a litigious society we are a society at the mercy of litigators and their avaricious ways. OK, I need more coffee and throne session.
