chapalence Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. There are a whole lot of armchair know-it-alls in these parts. As I see it, be grateful or be gone. You don't seem to realize how toxic your shitty attitudes are. I "feel" you anytime I'm foolish enough to venture into Mexico Lite, AKA Ajijic, the only pueblo that receives NO services from the local government while Chapala gets "everything". Bwah, hah, hah, hah! Seriously. Toxic. Shitty. Attitudes. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I've seen the video. The driver was most definitely passing a motorcyclist, and was way over in the oncoming traffic lane. He wasn't turning: he was blasting through. No brakes, no swerving from either vehicle... no nothing. Cyclist went right over the top. The ironic part: everyone got out of the car, and not a single person went over to check on the guy lieing in the road, helmet 50 feet away. It's impossible to tell what either driver could possibly have been doing or thinking. It was a head-on hit that looked like neither was paying attention, as the moto was going pretty much as fast as the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Earlier someone posted it was at 8AM and the car was eastbound. The sun is a huge issue at that time these days, heading east. Wondering if that contributed to this tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 In the incident in Riberas, the car was westbound. I drive home every Monday morning at 7:30, and the sun is blinding. I have pulled off the road more than once. But two things: at this time of year, by 8 am, it has risen high enough so as not to be an issue, and there is a huge shadow from trees right there, which should have kept the motorcylist from being blinded. Should have. Certainly, though, the car would have had no problem seeing normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you didn't see the same vid that I described.Yes the car was westbound and the sun rises in the east so would not have effected his vision.

Was told it was a young Mexican guy on the blue motorcycle coming from Chapala and a Mexican driver heading east who crossed into the left lane to pass another motorcycle and didn't see the one coming and they hit head on. I relied on this early post which says car was eastbound. FYI, I shop early, leaving Ajijic around 8:15 heading east. On the carretera through Ajijic the sun remains strong and problematic even yesterday. I have taken to using Constitucion where the narrower streets give me some shadowing from buildings. Though no idea of the terrain past SAT and the sun issues there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cadaver wagon from the coroners office does not take bodies to any hospital, they do the autopsy in their facility. Yes the criminal driver of the car was not injured if that's what you mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is that this is a typical GOVERNMENT screw up, no matter what country. What about all those CONCRETE dividers the same color as the highway with the peaks to impale a car that goes a little off course? Why not a metal railing a few feet from the surface that will redirect an errant vehicle, not destroy the undercarriage or worse? Whose brother, cousin or other relative has been awarded this contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the contractor probably does have a brother, cousin, or relative, most people in Mexico do. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
