Lane refused a Breathalyzer test. The Rowan County clerk of courts confirmed that he is to appear in court on Oct. 5.
Do they have a helmet law???

Then they should take him straight to jail, do not collect $200.00.
Now that`s real crime, breaking the Helmet Law. Probably not wearing a seatbelt in this accident either. His M.O....

Well, thank you for the update...what an incredible waste of the lives of the victim and of a talented bike builder and although I was a fan of the Billy Lane style of builds, there should never be an excuse for his actions...

I just hope he doesn't get off. They should throw the book at him. I could care less who he is. Second time in as few months, definatly not safe on the road.

Lock him up and throw away the key. As long as so called "celebrities" are not punished like us "regular" folks...this sort of thing will continue to happen.
