This is purely hypothetical:
So I was sitting at my house with my roommate in my neighborhood, sitting in my living room watching T.V. and I heard this motorcycle come by, louder than hell. I ran outside just in time to catch him speeding by at what appeared AT LEAST 70 on this residential street. I tell my roommate that next time we hear him we should go act like mimes and pull an imaginary rope across the street so that he will think it's real and maybe slow down.
Of course, 30 minutes later he comes by doing 70 again. We pull this imaginary rope across the street and it happens. He slows down...
However, he touches his front brake too hard and flips over his handlebars, breaking both legs and an arm. He also has road rash pretty bad.
While this is completely hypothetical, it is a real debate that my friend and I fought over. We both have no legal experience...just curious as to what would happen if we really did do this to that annoying motorcycle rider.
The question is, who would be at fault? The motorcycle rider speeding in the neighborhood or the kids playing a joke with an imaginary rope who try to get him to slow down?
