Sad, another innocent young rider lost to a careless driver.

Under the Highway Traffic Act, careless driving is described as driving "without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway." A conviction could come with a fine of between $2,000 and $50,000, six demerit points and a licence suspension of up to five years. It could also call for as many as two years in jail.

I wonder how many careless drivers face this consequence?

Heart felt condolences to the young man's family. To the rider -- RIP.
 
Just read the sad news...only 24 years old.

RIP Justin. Condolences to the family and friends.

"
OSHAWA — Police have identified the man who died in a motorcycle crash in Oshawa on Saturday.
Justin Jones, 24, of Oshawa was seriously injured in the crash and pronounced dead in hospital.
Emergency crews were called to Simcoe Street North near Beatrice Street East at about 12:40 p.m. on Oct. 12.

Police say a red Kawasaki motorcycle driven by Jones was travelling south on Simcoe Street when it collided with a silver Dodge Caravan that was exiting a plaza."
 
This one hits home a little. That exact spot is only about 1KM from where I was involved in my first (and thankfully, so far, last) MC wreck in 1994 - Simcoe and Switzer.

I still carry the scars. But I limped away from it.

RIP rider.
