that is hands down one of my biggest fears about riding on any highway...
my first instinct is to brake hard, but i gotta get used to looking to change lanes right away instead.

The dallas north tollway is dangerous as hell. I regularly run 80+ jus to keep up with flow and often see cars at 90 to 100 mph - every now and then I feel the need to keep up  . I never ride that thing during rush hour. I would have been jailed after getting the driver. |

Eeesh.. man (relatively speaking) he's lucky he got tossed up and landed on that clear side. If he'd not gotten tossed up he might have ended up crushed between the two auto.

Seeing things like this are another reason I'm so glad I can lane split here in LA. Right or wrong, my instinct is to always get out in front and put distance behind me.

Perez (the rider) is upset that he (the driver) wasn't arrested.
"It just baffles me…I think he should have got arrested," he said.

Anytime I have to brake short I glance in my mirror and stear towards the space next to the car in front of me. We're small enough to pull out of harm's way.

I just hate it when they show it over and over. I feel like I have to watch it every time, especially when they slow-mo it. Glad the guy is recovering.

Inattentive drivers are one of those things we have little control over. We can defensively drive our best but we don't have eyes in back of our heads. I wonder if he had a chance to get a glimpse of this guy barreling down on him or did he even know what hit him. Videos like that and the ones where the cyclist gets t-boned by the asshole running a light or stop sign makes me cringe.

When ever I have to brake hard, I always try and get out of line. His best bet would have been to pull right. But hide site is 20/20.

Was the road wet or did he have the rear locked up? Looked like smoke coming from the back tire.
Watching this made me cringe and is one of the reasons I don't like riding in town anymore.
I also believe the driver should have been arrested, as he was driving with no license or insurance. His car should have been impounded and then sold to help pay for the riders medical bills.
