 |  | | Bikers USA posted the above banner after the 2006 kickstart weekend for Myrtle Beach Bike Week, when 6 motorcycle riders had already been killed. We asked people to spread the word to tell other bikers to please ride safely and ride defensively. Most of the accidents had been caused by negligent cage drivers, but as you know, you can exercise much more caution in order to survive. Perhaps everyone was caught off guard by the change in the traffic patterns which the city instituted in 2006 in order to avoid the continuation of a lawsuit by the NAACP. Obviously, both drivers and riders need to take their time when making a turn and at intersections. Thank you to the riders who helped spread the word about increasing their defensive riding due to the abundance of fools in cages. |

TOTAL FALLEN RIDERS ALREADY AT 6 BEFORE THE WEEKEND BEGINS, WITH 5 DUE TO NEGLIGENT CAGE DRIVERS. May 19, 2006 Bikers USA Four of the five fatal accidents which claimed the lives of six motorcycle riders involved automobiles, with drivers of automobiles at fault. All five accidents were failure to yield. Even if you see them looking right at you, don’t assume they see you. If it even looks like they could try and take a left, beware. Assume they are IDIOTS, and are going to try and hit you. Your job is to not let them.
