Accident on the corner

Car vs. bike, not the thing you want to see when you go see what all the flashing lights are about. Run a stop sign on a bike without looking and it is accident time. One that I hope to never see again. The young biker was talking so everything seemed okay. The driver was visibly shaken and there looked to be two young kids in the back seat.

There is a law in Idaho that allows bikers to yield at stop signs. This makes it easier for them to go through an intersection if it is clear. The problem is some don't even make an effort to slow down, they just keep up their speed even if a car is coming. Naturally assuming that the car will stop for them. However, it is the biker who should be stopping.
