Reiterating the message of being alert at all times and scanning everything including mirrors, especially after you've come to a stop. I drove by this horrific looking scene of a Harley partly pinned under a van last week.
My heart dropped. The driver of the van made no attempt to slow down, likely on his cell phone, as he plowed over the motorcycle. The motorcyclist, I later learned, was alert to the oncoming danger behind him and jumped off his bike, escaping injuries. The driver of the van was sent to hospital with minor injuries.
