What a shame.
I have no sympathy for people endanger others for no good reason.
You can make the argument that this person didn't "deserve" something so final. I believe the rider did.
While I feel bad for the truck driver, the person "texting" could just as easily hit my niece or nephew crossing the street, killing them. I can't imagine how I would feel if a "texting" (or any other activity other than DRIVING) driver/rider lived after murdering a family member of mine.
I chose the word murder. It is not an accident if you are ACTIVELY not paying attention in a situation where that specific inattentivness leads to the death of another.
There is no "law" that will fix this nor is there any type of liscensing or training. It is personal responsibiliy. We can't keep drugs or cell phones out of prison....this is not going to stop.
Now in the US, schools are out or are getting out. Pay attention to teens driving at a high rate a speed and texting/talking: and they think they are never going to die...
