Witness: Driver Ignores Yelling Motorcyclist On Car's Hood
http://www.local10.com/news/3980812/detail.html

A witness said a South Florida driver plowed into a motorcyclist Tuesday night and kept going, even as the screaming man rolled onto the hood of the car.

"He didn't know what he hit. He said 'I didn't know. I hit some debris.' I said, 'Debris? But the guy was on your hood yelling at (your) windshield to stop,'" said witness Thomas Thibert.

"I didn't see a guy on my hood," said the driver, Scott Eisenberg. "If I saw a guy on my hood I would have stopped right there. I simply thought I ran over something."

The motorcyclist, Marlowe Buelvas, was driving west on I-595 near State Road 7 when he said Eisenberg hit him. After the impact, Buelvas managed to get up off the ground and write down Eisenberg's license plate number.

Thibert stopped to help Buelvas, then took off after Eisenberg. He chased him 20 miles to Pompano Beach where Florida Highway Patrol troopers and Broward Sheriff's Office deputies intercepted him.

Investigators questioned Eisenberg, but did not arrest him Tuesday night. Today, however they have announced he is charged with the following:


* Leaving the scene of an accident involving damage.
* Failure to report an accident immediately.
* Failure to leave information.
* Careless driving.
* Having no insurance.

1. * Having no insurance.

That says it all.

2. HIS BIKE WAS WORTH $85,000?!

WTF, was it made out of diamonds and gold?

The driver must have been drunk or on drugs. It seems there is a lot of that going around. Debris? How absurd he didn't even stop to look.

Edit: just looked at the slide show. Can you imagine if the driver had been non-white? He would have been cuffed and in jail. How the hell did they let this guy go home? He should have his license revoked.

3. This guy comes from the same mold as George Bush, and

represents one of the 59 million+ dumb-ass Merikans.

4. I've never ridden a motorcycle...

But after biking to work for a couple of weeks one time, it seems like sitting on two wheels is an instant invisibility cloak. People don't seem to see you unless you're driving a Canyonero or something.

5. This driver reminds me of Bush voters

No matter how many photos of charred/dead/maimed Iraqi children they are shown, they somehow manage not to see them, even if you hold the pics right in front of their faces. (There are many other things that Bush voters can't see, this is just one example.) Perhaps it is a congenital vision problem for which they could be given medication? Or perhaps they have no conscience.

Was crashed into by an 80 yr old woman that should not have been driving. Sometimes I really really hate florida
