Can anyone guess what these photos show? If you guessed skidmarks from a speeding Camaro about to slam into a motorcycle rider who was getting ready to turn into his driveway, you would be correct!
I always turn on my turn-signal at the same point on the highway & started to slow/gear down. Seconds later, heard some loud screeching & looked in my mirrors to see alot of smoke coming from that car. I couldn't turn left into my driveway due to opposing traffic, so I had to gun my throttle and go straight ahead...meanwhile, Speedy had to go into the ditch to avoid me. Needless to say, I 'waved' at him as I was turning into another driveway up the road. I was so shaken up when I pulled into my driveway, it was a miracle I didn't drop my bike in the gravel. Ugh!! My wife was almost a widow (or my permanent caretaker).
Skidmarks started about 400ft from end of our driveway (on the left)
Start of Camaro tires going off the side of the road to avoid me. Our mailbox is on the left
Camaro tire marks exiting ditch. Beginning of our driveway is on the left about where the front end of that red car is.
In hindsight, I should have followed him after I turned off into the other driveway, and call the Sheriff dept on him via my Bluetooth helmet. Hopefully there won't be a next time for me to do this.
