B’ Spokes: This is very similar to Baltimore’s Jack Yates fatality, a turning truck did not signal and failed to turn from the right side of the road as required by law. Baltimore City Police went out of their way to vindicate the truck driver and to charge the cyclist. Seriously we need motorists to signal, it’s the law. To quote the article:
"Degianni did not have his turn signal on leading up to the intersection, a catastrophic failure that could have saved Lefevre’s life:"
Now I have to ask how many tickets have Baltimore City Police given for failure to use turn signals? It happens all the time yet goes unnoticed by the police.
