We recently asked three San Francisco residents about how they feel about motorcycles in the city.
“There’s no protection for the person or the person driving,” one resident said, who added that blind spots are a huge problem, especially on highways. “I can’t see a motorcycle coming even if I look over my shoulder. It’s a blind spot. I’ve almost hit motorcyclists before.”
The sergeant, Derwin Longmire, drew considerable media attention a few years ago for his involvement in a case involving the slaying of an Oakland journalist named Chauncey Bailey.
Authorities accused Longmire of mishandling the investigation, which implicated Yusuf Bey IV, the leader of Your Black Muslim Bakery, a local bakery and self-described “black empowerment group.”
Dr. Sharon Jamieson, MD of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation was sued by a patient who alleges that Dr. Jamieson failed to warn her of serious side effects of a medication she prescribed. The patient fell into a coma and was left nearly blind.
Zahra Naser alleges that she fell in the locker room of Lakeridge Athletic Club in El Sobrante. A court recently found that Naser’s claim was barred by the liability release in her gym membership contract.
