But her actions weren't any different than we see on highways every single day. She happened to hit a motorcycle instead of a car so instead of an inconvenience we have a death. Accidents happen, and as a motorcycle rider do you not assume some of the responsibility that what amounts to a fender bender can be fatal?

If no drugs or intentional distractions were involved (cell phone, eating a pizza, whatever), she shouldn't be charged.
I don't ride, but everyone in my family does. The main reason I don't is I've been to and written up enough reports where a guy on a motorcycle died just because of common accidents like this one.
