"Failure to yield"?! Clearly the biker went out of his way to hit the
oncoming car's right fender ... Why, he hadda go clear over to the other
side of the street, then wham! It was all the cager could do to swerve
out of the way... (I'm being a smartass.)

If that's true, he's probably being prosecuted for failing to cut
eye-holes in the box.

Since his face was cut up, clearly he needed to wear one. Whether the
law compelled him to is another matter.

Ah, okay, thanks for 'splaining that. No helmet, eh?
That reminds me of the salad bowl story in the news here a while back.
Guy got pulled over on Fiesta Island for wearing a salad bowl strapped
to his head. Cop wrote him a ticket. The guy said, "Can I have the bowl
back? My wife'll kill me!"
