Gixxus Christ! Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ouch. At least it was his bike that went under the oncoming car and not his cossack ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBBaron Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ive been to several different countries while I was in the navy and Its one thing I refused to do was drive in any of them, too many damn idiots, far worse then we have hereOuch, But seems like the rider was one of those idiots. Riding way to fast for the conditions. Looks he would have had to brake hard to avoid the truck ahead. Brutal accident but could/should have been avoided.Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I've driven in the West Indies. Drivers are VERY aggressive. You absolutely HAVE to become just as aggressive or you'll cause an accident.That being said, this guy was an idiot. And the camera person just kept rollin'....

Gunner75 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 And they are all idiots. They haven't had the training that we have had since kids. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyb357 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 He had at least 2 car lengths worth of room to throw it to the right while braking to avoid this. Way too fast for this road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Bike was too fast for the road. He was riding way too fast in the left lane despite knowing the truck was stopping, so his intent must have been to switch to the middle lane - but the silver SUV was already (legally) in the middle lane.Even if the SUV had not changed lanes from the middle to the left the bike would still have wrecked - either into the back of the stopping truck or it would have have to switch to the middle lane where the SUV was. His only way out would be to lane split.How far back is the SUV expected to look before changing lanes? Hypothetically if the bike was doing 200 mph then the suv driver would not be expected to look far enough back to see him. What about 100mph? 75mph? If everyone else is flowing with traffic and you want to change lanes to the left lane, how far back to you look?I don't double-lane-change specifically to ensure I have time to pause and check my mirror as far back as I can - still, I may not see a bike going significantly over the speed limit.
