I doubt you know 10 bikers so how you can make sweeping statements about them being injured or how they ride shows you up to be talking from a viewpoint with little or no basis on reality. I sit here with a broken back which will cause me pain for the rest of my life due to a car driver making assumptions about bikers ignoring traffic laws. She decided that Amber to bikers meant accelerate where I know it means stop, unfortunately for me she decided to 'be a biker' and accelerated into the back of me as I stopped. so don't go pontificating at me about those who choose to ignore traffic laws.

actualy i grew up around bikers , i make my assumtions about bikers by the amount of idiotic actions i have seen done by bikers that put car drivers in serious danger because we try to avoid hitting and killing them
as for your accident amber means preppare to stop if it is safe to do so, RED means stop , this is why we have 3 coulours not just 2 colours for stop and go so if you had bothered to use your mirrors before stopping then you probably wouldnt have ended up with a car up your backside
as for lights been on , if you cant see a car coming in broad daylight then you shouldnt be on the road in the first place
we need jaywalking laws like america , if pedestrians knew they didnt have the law %100 on their side they may take more care crossing roads instead of just walking out blindly into the road and been surprised when they get hit by a car
