Title: VERY Close Call - lucky escape for motorcyclist
Post by: mister on November 25, 2011, 01:34:37 PM
Watch it a few times to see Why the car was in the wrong lane, how close it came to wiping out on the bridge support, where the bike ended up and how lucky the pedestrians were, etc.

Small truck encroaching on the car's lane. Maybe debris on the road? Notice something entering the frame at bottom left. Car was traveling much faster than typical traffic, I think.

I noticed several things.
WHERE THE f%$k WAS HIS SAFETY GEAR?
Next the bike hits the truck after the car hits it, the truck driver doesn't get out to even inspect his vehicle, he just drives away.
Why does it take so long for people to react? Everyone keeps on going ignoring the guy lying there and going round the bike. WTF?
