Very sad set of circumstances indeed & I feel sure the motorcyling community's collective thoughts & condolences will go out to the families of the rider's concerned.
If the car/trailer pulled out around a blind corner I assume this was an ill advised passing manouvre by the driver that went tragically wrong. I have seen this type of thing happen on the Great Ocean Road where timid car drivers move into the opposite lane on blind corners out of fear of going over the edge.
On a personal note & in another time I have been hit head on twice by other trail bike riders who did the same thing by cutting corners without due regard for oncoming riders.
It's hard enough to stay upright out there battling road conditions etc without other road users excercising poor judgemental skills that can have such a tragic impact when things go wrong.
Here's hoping that we can all stay safe & be ever vigilant for the unexpected.
