|  Newspaper headlines about bike accidents.
Just something I notice alot which is Newpaper headlines (online editions) that like to have big bold titles such as "Motorcyclist killed in accident". I usually ignore them because I'm 90% sure of what I'm about to read. That being that is was 2am in the morning with a guy on bike riding in excess of 100mph and alot times trying to outrun the police thus causing a wreck and dying. Or the other usual one is a complete nimrod not wearing a helmet, driving in the dark with no headlight or making an illegal turn thus causing an accident and taking his life. Here's a good example of one today Motorcyclist killed in Gwinnett wreck | ajc.com So therefore the general public that do not ride motorcycles continue to think that bikes are dangerous machines and that they are typically ridden by crazy people. I wonder how many headlines they could write about Cars & Trucks involved in accidents everyday just around the Metro Atlanta area???? It would take up an entire section of the paper. But those types of headlines don't grab much attention I guess. |
