Three Seriously Injured After Motorcycles Crash in Greensboro

            A crash involving three motorcycles occurred on highway 29 southbound in Greensboro on Thursday night September the 8^t, 2011. Three men were riding their motorcycles Thursday evening on the highway when one lost control of his bike and took down the other two bikes hitting the pavement dangerous hard. These men are in Moses Cone Hospital with life threatening conditions.

           When I first started reading this article I thought it was going to be about someone not paying attention in a car or truck that had pulled out in front of or had came over into the lane, where the motorcycles are, causing them to crash. Usually this is the case when others aren’t paying attention and they don’t see the people on the motorcycles. I’ve told a lot of people to watch out for motorcycles and look twice before pulling your car out onto the main roads. Motorcycles can be hard to see especially when it’s a small bike. But we need to be careful when driving and pay closer attention so that we don’t have wrecks.

           This article shocks me because it doesn’t seem to be among the most common motorcycle accidents that happen. I know that I’ve seen motorcyclist try to share the same lane together before but usually there are only two motorcyclist that will do this. I can’t help but wonder if these three motorcyclists were trying to share the same lane because it seems that they had to be fairly close together if one took down the other two. If this is the case, it was really dumb on their part. Motorcycles aren’t supposed to share a lane at all. They are supposed to be like a car or truck and get behind one another on the road. I just hope that these three guys are going to be okay. If people would just obey the laws maybe we wouldn’t have so many wrecks and deaths due to accidents in motor-vehicles. Laws are set to protect us not restrict of or take away our rights.
