Then to me it is tailgating. If you can't come to a stop safely should the person in front of you slam on their brakes, then you are too close, period. If the driver of the motorcycle was indeed driving at a safe distance, was he not paying attention to the road or temporarily distracted?

Like happycats stated, what if it was a moose??? Or a human??? Or your brakes or your transmission seize??? Or a large piece of garbage a tire??? It would be interesting to find out what happens, because I think any good lawyer will be able to fight this charge. Many people are killed from hitting wildlife on the road.

Hmmmmm, wonder if they charged the driver who slammed into the 6 cyclists, killing three of them.
