A Plea
I don't know what is going on with us being at the scene of accidents lately, but we were there for another one today. We were on our way home from lunch at mom's, and I saw the most awful scene. The first thing was a motorcycle in the left hand lane of US-1 laying on it's side, and then I saw the driver laying in the middle lane. I saw him before Bobby and all I could say was, "Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.." over and over again. What a horrible sight. It had just happened, so Bobby jumped out of our car along with an EMT that just happened to be behind us and I stayed at the car to watch Thomas and the EMT's little girl. Thankfully, the guy is going to be ok, but he was bleeding profusly from his head. You guessed it... he wasn't wearing a helmet... UGH! So, without getting too graphic, please, please, please if you are a motorcyclist, wear your helmet! Or, if you know one- encourage them to wear their's. One of the first things I thought of is my Harley-riding brother-in-law, Chris, and I am so thankful that he wears his helmet!

Sadly enough so many people don't wear that one piece of gear that I find to be most important. I hear of so many deaths and injuries which could have been avoided had they just worn a helmet. I am glad the Marine Corps requires it, but I am glad Chris wears it too. I NEVER ride without mine. I hope your accident vicitm learned his lesson. It isn't required here in OK. I will never understand that.
i don't understand why that isn't a law in SC...it is in so many other states!!!
