GRANBURY, Texas -- A driver seen on video swerving into a motorcycle, sending its driver and passenger tumbling onto the pavement, may face charges in the crash, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The video recorded Saturday by another motorcyclist, and which has more than two million views on Facebook, shows rider Eric Sanders crossing double yellow lines in an apparent effort to pass a car on Texas's Tin Top Highway.

Most of us see lousy car drivers and a few lousy cycle drivers. I try to stay out of their way.

Yes the motorcyclist was reckless but Darwin has a way of dealing with those people sooner or later.
