I like ghost bikes. But in general, I'm against roadside memorials. Usually when I see one, I wonder to myself how anyone could have been killed at that location. There was a motorcycle accident near me where the motorcyclist was weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed. He was on the wrong side of the road when someone pulled out of their driveway and he nailed them. I don't know if they misjudged his speed or didn't see him. There was an elaborate memorial by the side of the road for a few months, now it's gone. I always thought that the person that pulled out was a victim of the deceased, not the other way around. They probably don't need to see that memorial every day to feel guilty.

There was another accident near us where the deceased caused the accident, and injured a batch of other people. Someone kept putting up a cross, and the victims kept taking it down.
