Posted March 6, 200915 yr The driver is a cock. I'm stating that as fact. I'm trying to figure if the rider could have avoided this...... Very Crazy and Dumb Accident, He Dont See It Come - The funniest home videos are here
March 6, 200915 yr Moderator No way he could have avoided that, going too fast to react in time! He did his best by braking so hard he stood the bike up on the front wheel before contact but carrying way too much speed.
March 6, 200915 yr Author Reason I wondered was he was drifting right in his lane. My thought would have been to drift left and go around the back of Cock's car. Looks like he got quite hurt too.
March 6, 200915 yr My thought would have been to drift left and go around the back of Cock's car. I with you on that one. Still, that's the risk you take when you go too fast, he really should've see the car moving over from lane 1 and started to slow in anticipation.
March 6, 200915 yr Moderator Its easy to say he was drifting right, but that may have been his instinct to go right at first, perhaps he was hoping the car would not go so far right as it did do thereby blocking his escape, or maybe he had a wheel locked...we all know that bikes do drift when wheels are locked especially if they leaned over a bit , we arent to know.
March 6, 200915 yr All I can say is that I would hate to be either one of those guys. I spend most of my time riding/driving looking for a way out in case something like that happens.
March 6, 200915 yr Moderator Car drivers fault without a doubt The biker seemed to be keeping up with the flow of traffic on a motorway - maybe he could have avoided it but if he was in the middle lane and had pulled out into the right lane from behind a truck or something he would not have seen this in time. Drivers fault 110%
March 7, 200915 yr Good to see the people waiting at the bus stop came to his aid! Oh they didn't they just looked the other way, lets hope they don't need anyones help one day.
March 7, 200915 yr He should have seen that early enough to avoid a collision. IMHO, it's a 50/50 fault. The car driver for not looking and drifting without signalling, and the biker's for riding at sphincter clenching speed with traffic about.
March 24, 200915 yr No way, deffo the drivers fault. Regardelss of the bikers speed, he should have been looking for anything that was in either lane. How many times is it said drivers look but dont actually SEE? This is 1 of those cases.
March 24, 200915 yr Drivers fault, without a shadow of a doubt!!! Clearly the driver feels that all three lanes belong to him/her, and that he/she can swerve as they please!! One lane at a time, flipping ar$eHole!! A taxi driver tried something similar with me today. At next set of lights, I got the pleasure to readjust his wing mirror for him, free of charge!! He tried following me too!! haha, but you can imagine, 8.50AM, London!!
April 24, 200915 yr Driver at fault from wht i can understand... should havee been looking and not doin anythin stupid like that, then there is the question of front and back brake though because really both should stop a bike in seconds and the final is what is he doing on that side of the road when most riders ride just off the white line???? i understand compleatly thou that it is drivers fault
June 4, 200915 yr For riding a bike and listening to politicians, I have the same principle:Trust no one.
June 4, 200915 yr think the biker locked up and ended up drifting in to the car so its the cars fault and the biker obviously dosent know how to emergancy break as he locks up both wheals
June 22, 200915 yr almost happend to me the other week come round the corner and some dickhead decided to stop in the middle of the road and i had to get hard on the brakes break left mount the curb and undertake him at 50 on the pavment, dodgy
