Ya I would agree, and this from another post "She should be charged with attempted murder." his reaction "Normally, I would agree.​"
He is all over the place.

It's not being "all over the place" simply because you don't understand. Yes, I was partially culpable in the eyes of the law as were all of us, including the logging truck: we were ALL exceeding the posted speed limit of 50 MPH. The pack was doing 60 ish and I was doing 65 according to the tracker onboard. I knew lying to a cop is a crime and I wanted EMS to understand the dynamics of the wreck so I WAS HONEST. I told them the TRUTH. They asked how fast I was going and I told them.

I rode for 50 years and NEVER got a ticket.

Lying to a cop is never a good idea and it is in fact a crime.

I hope that clarifies the situation.

It's not a crime here.....when I had my accident where the guy ran a stop sign and hit me....when police asked him what happened he said he stopped at his sign....the cops told me this in the hospital....I said "he's lying"...she said they knew he was lying (And video proved that)...but that it was not a crime to lie to police and that people did it all the time. He got charged for running the stop sign and for "undue care and attention of a motor vehicle. But nothing for lying.
It's not like people are in court under oath

If the road contained only drivers with a motorcycle endorsement, I'd ride again.

What a bunch of pussies !...... If someone gets hurt " Undue Care and Attention " is almost always upgraded to " Dangerous Driving " .......

What an amazing story.
The shoes coming off bit especially. Few can imagine the forces at work in a spill but here you have it.
If all our ATGATT stories were compiled ... there is a bestseller there for sure.
The poison metaphor made me smile. Forgiveness is such a powerful decision for all parties. It separates the human from the system with far reaching transcendent effects.
In spite of much of what we say about insurance, they too recognise truth and want to move on.
The Law is in the mix and they do what they have to, but, compared to decisions by the central actors to return and forgive, it is a sideshow.
