It's very hard. Although I'm sure there are things to say about his understanding of traffic.

I have never seen a crash test video done on a bike before let alone in real life. I suppose as long as your not crooked in between the cars when you get hit there is a crumple zone of sorts where you can survive and walk away. Glad hes ok.

I have to wonder, even watching my mirrors if I could've escaped.
Trick is to not get wedged in there in the first place.
So class, what should he have done different?
He was hit about 1 second or less, after he stopped.
Hanging back and getting hit at a lower closing speed ( or maybe she slows with you instead if failing to stop)
Noticing she wasn't paying attention and changing lanes earlier (we don't know how long she was behind him)?

accidents happen. the woman apologized several times and was checking to see if he was ok.... better than most.

He may still be injured and we don't know it, but wow that was awesome the way he popped up and landed on two feet. I wonder if he still would have popped up like that if the lady had been gong much faster or if he would have been crushed. Very scary.

He was behind a big car he couldn't see through or over, he waited with his acceleration and was caught in a bungee cord effect as he was catching up. It takes a lot of experience to avoid that kind of positions, but I think that's what he's missing. However - the lady crashing into him is to blame, but as always that doesn't help at all if you're hurt. |

It's like I keep saying: Those who would sacrifice a free range session for a giant beer, deserve neither free range time nor a giant beer.
i have had guys reach back and grab my crotch in an attempt to get around me. i'll either blow in their ear or ask them politely to let go of my wang. |

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

accidents happen. ape shit on this pregnant dog? nice. you know nothing about her except she made a mistake. Mistakes happen. In this case the mistake happened to result in a collision. Is driving without giving due care and attention to the task an accident? I think not. Its an offence (at least where I live it is). a non-life-threatening mistake. Really? Fortunately the mistake was not fatal. the woman apologized several times and was checking to see if he was ok.... better than most. True. ape shit on this pregnant dog? nice. A little harsh, agreed. But then I doubt any of us would be feeling too kindly disposed in the circumstances. Or are you proposing the victim offer her a nice cup of tea and tell her its alright... "accidents happen"? |
