Fatal RTA.....Is this normal procedure

[darrsi]

Im not sure why I think this or where I have read it but I think there is something about the lead rider being culpable in some way for encouraging the rider behind to ride fast (keep up )

Again, it's not your responsibility how other people ride or drive, and once on the road you have to look out for yourself and let other people do the same with their vehicle.
Unless of course there was blatant racing going on, with maybe camera evidence along the way, then that could possibly become a bit more tricky.
