Tahoe north bound on McCulloch crossed over into oncoming traffic, managed to cross a wash and up into the side of the house. That would certainly get you out of bed quick.

I think people panic and their foot goes down.

I watched an accident while eating lunch once. A woman was in a left turn lane. She was rear ended. Accidently stomped on the gas. She made essentially a pair of U turns, and rear ended the car that just rear ended her car. It was incredible to watch.

Just like the Palm Springs motor cop this weekend who plowed into 10 parade spectators and lost his hand. He whiskey throttled. Yep…how does that shit even happen?

As reported, there was another accident today at a 4 way on Acoma. A lady ran the stop, at a high rate of speed. Collided with and flipped a small SUV. The driver who ran the stop was reportedly 5 months pregnant. No info on injuries for either vehicle. No medical event reported for the driver who ran the stop.

More than likely a mom driving her kids to school, and was reaching back to grab someone’s hair, for fighting.

Road rage😁

With speed limits of 25-35mph all over town I am surprised anyone gets into an accident at that speed

Oh yeah, I did that once on a Honda XR650. Lucky I was able to ride it out without winding up in the hospital.
I did it too on a Honda 250R, I just didn't know it had a name. I pulled off the damn twist throttle upgrade that the guy that sold it had put on right then and put the thumb throttle back on. Not the only time I nearly killed myself on that thing. Ended up selling it back to him.

I had to Google “whiskey throttle”.
Haha. When I was 20, which was 50 years ago, I bought a new dirt bike. I hauled it home, and my brother stopped by and wanted to try it out. He immediately “whiskey throttled” it into the side of his car. It dented his door pretty good, but didn’t hurt him (aside from his pride) or the bike, so I got a good laugh out of it. I’ll have to remind him of that sometime. 😉

Riding a dirt bike in the desert whoops hauling ass... it happens easier than you think. I went over backwards going 40+ during a Hare Scramble. There is a point of no return it seems and you just instantly realize that your brain will not twist the throttle back. Like Fight or Flight reaction bullshit where your body chooses flight.

Doing it on the street in a parade I have a hard time understanding but yet an officer loses his hand and many others hurt. Terrible.

They say his foot fell off his brake lever so maybe his weight shift down to the right which made his arm drop and his wrist rotated. Crazy. Big heavy bike

With claim money, assuming the Tahoe is insured, time to add on to the garage and get that boat inside. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade....

Should have tried a different one🤷🏻‍♂️


Or maybe he is looking for a different one to try🤔
