Saw that too. Guy had no chance. What was up with the car that pulled in front of him?? Looked like he just went across fletcher to go into the grass in front of the church.. I think it was another confused elderly person because it just made no sense! R.I.P. Went to a funeral this morning too.. Shitty day! R.I.P. Red

well it was a crown vic, and they were holding some sort of church service, so i'm guessing it was an old lady who just didn't see the rider

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Another elderly person who should not have a driver's license kills ANOTHER innocent person...it's just sad.

Why would FL not make it mandatory to be tested for driving competency every year over 60 or retirement age? Maybe b/c the elderly are a huge % of all people who actually vote (wtf else do they have to do) and no one would ever dare propose something that makes so much sense...

I feel terrible for this guy and his family...
