Helmutt Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hopefully they came out unscathed, seemed like an easy slide after the initial impact but a lot of bones can break in that split second.Looks to be a pre '08 ninja 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cOoTeR Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I don't think it would have helped but that appeared to be a very loose and casual grip on the bars. I bet the driver of the car was paying more attention to the car waiting to pull out than the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) In case you didn't see the video title, this is listed as happening in Columbus in October this year. That's why I asked here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Roadcam/ Edited November 12, 2014 by Scruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm wondering if the driver saw the bike's signal flashing from his lane change, and assumed he was going to turn left at the same intersection. If the driver sees that left signal flashing AFTER he's executed the lane change, but not prior, he's thinking to himself "that bike's turning left. No reason for me to yield if he's not going straight." Obviously flawed logic, but not as egregious as simply not looking for the bike. This is one reason why it's illegal to change lanes in an intersection. I think the bike had his lane change complete well prior to the intersection, but the car in front of him might also have shielded the driver's view. this is why street riding scares me, and I don't enjoy it as much. I went out for about an hour yesterday and reminded myself that the world is full of stupid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
