Biker "half to blame"

       A German court said a motorcyclist who collided with a drunken pedestrian during the Munich beer festival was partly to blame because she should have expected the road to be full of partygoers. The female biker, who was driving within the speed limit at 40-50 km per hour, hit a man who was crossing the road on a red light during the beer fest which attracts millions of revellers every year. The court ruled she "was 50% responsible" for the accident, and ordered her to pay half the damages from the accident (around $3,600). The court said "the motorcyclist should have adjusted her speed to be able to avoid" large numbers of drunk people on the streets at night, who can not be trusted to observe the rules of the road.
