OMG. This type of accident is probably a rider's worst fear----am I wrong? Worse than somebody turning left in front of you or a head-on. I'm not so sure manslaugher charges will even be filed here unless the truck driver was intoxicated. I can see liability exceeding what the truck company even carries. Yeah, like others here, when waiting at a light, I am primarily concerned about who's approaching from my rear and try to manuever so that I have a back-up (er, "head-up" contingency plan). MORE REASON TO FILTER light queues when practical!
