Well, obviously, if you're dead then your license has expired. But I digress... I posted on this topic previously, but the Seattle paper didn't note the alcohol angle. This is from the Yakima Herald:
Excessive speed, inattention, unsafe lane changes and alcohol are the top causes of motorcycle deaths, said Lt. Mike Turcott of Olympia, who began probing causes of motorcycle accidents in 2005.
And of those who died this year, 47 percent lacked a motorcycle license endorsement, he said.
Related. 3:30 p.m. Drunk. Motorcycle. No helmet. Dead.
Update: Seems like the dinosaurs are swarming. Uh, you think? LA Times and NYT had similar stories a couple weeks ago.
