Let's pay attention, people!

Several months ago, I witnessed a near collision between a motorcycle and a Sport Utility Vehicle near my house. The motorcycle was traveling in the opposite direction as me, in the left-hand lane. The SUV was traveling in front of me, when the driver suddenely decided he was going the wrong way. The driver quickly crossed over the two opposite lanes, and pulled into a parking lot. The driver then decided to immediatley pull a U-turn right in the entrance of the parking lot, and pulled right out in front of the motorcycle. Fortunately, the motorcycle driver happened to be paying attention, and traveling around 35 or 40 miles per hour, managed to dodge the SUV. The SUV pulled in to a church parking lot nearby. I never knew what happened between the two, because the light turned, and a cop showed up. Don't worry, the rider was fine.
But, unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky. My good friend was hit by a car last week, while riding his bike. The driver, in a SUV as well, somehow managed to hit his rear tire, knocking him off his bike, crashing him to the pavement. Fortunately, he was able to go home the following day.
But, unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky. A family friend was killed by a car a couple years ago, while riding his bike. The driver, not paying attention, hit him dead-on. Apparently in a panic, the driver sped off. Friends of our friend managed to get the liscense plate number of the hit-and-run driver.
There are two morals to these stories.
1: PAY ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING
2: ALWAYS WEAR A GOOD HELMET
Both will save your brains.
