We read in the paper this week about a tragedy involving a motorcyclist who was struck and killed by a drunk driver. According to news accounts, the drunk driver was completely at fault in the incident and struck the innocent motorcycle rider from the rear. Regrettably, this case is indicative of the dangers to which all motorcycle riders are exposed. Such dangers are exponentially increased, obviously, when a drunk driver is involved and as it appears in this case, the victim was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time occupying the same space and traveling down the same road as the drunk driver. The tragic results obviously were caused by the drunk driver\u2019s negligence. Hopefully, the driver will be fully prosecuted and sent to jail. While jail time will be little solace to the victim\u2019s family, nonetheless, it is necessary that there be a vigorous prosecution in all such cases in order to deter such actions by others.<\/p>\n
