My cousin was killed by a car last night

My lovely, funny, kind cousin was killed by a car last night as he travelled home from work. I feel so sorry for his wife and family, he was such a lovely guy, I can't believe I'll never see him again.

If anyone knows anyone who rides a motorbike please try to pursuade them to change to a car. They are just too dangerous. My cousin was a careful rider but the person who killed him was just not looking when they pulled out into him.

Oh God how awful. Am so so sorry.

I hate motorbikes for that reason. No matter how careful you are, you can't bank on other drivers being as careful and you have no protection.

Trice, I am so so sorry for your loss and for your cousins family.

DP had a motorbike but I made him give it up when we moved in together as I did not want the knock on the door your poor cousins wife has had.

The same thing happened to my cousin on his bike about 2 years ago ,he was lucky to survive as he was so badly injured.

I'm so so sorry to hear about your cousin, trice.
The same thing has just happened to a young lad in my town, he was knocked off his bike & killed 2 days after his 18th birthday. I just hate motorbikes.

littlepicklesmum · 26/05/2007 10:57

My brother refuses to get rid of his bike and even takes his daughter on it (9yrs), scares the life out of us.. Am so VERY VERY sorry for your loss. The world can be a shite place at times..
