Karl Parker was a Harley rider, I didn't know him well, but I did know him. He was riding along on his own side of the road, minding his own business, when a car crossed the double yellow lines and hit him head on.
In court the judge apportioned blame to Karl because he was riding in the outer of the two lanes on his side of the road. Little mention of the woman driver having crossed a double yellow to be on the wrong side of the road. Karl didn't have a good word to say for himself. He was dead.
The woman, a medical doctor, was fined $1000.
