it is sad to hear things like this happen, but from what i read, its something that can be avoided. stay in your lane around a blind corner, and stay in control. if it means going a little slower, then maybe thats what needs to be done.

indeed jackson it is....and its a sage reminder to the rest of us.

ash i agree with you, but it was only about a week ago peter was in flashchat over at SF....seems so strange.
from what we heard in flash yesterday, the came in pretty hot into the corner and started to slide and was hit by a flatbed truck.

his mate escaped with concussion and some bruises etc....
when one of our own falls the rest must carry them forever.

RIP Peter.

Pretty sure the truck was sideways on the road, I'd assume either pulling into or out-of a driveway.
downright scary.
