Holeee!

I wonder how many people will actually slow down?

 

[rkwhyte2]

Holy mackerel that was wicked.

Looks like the truck was in the wrong lane?

England. Yes he crossed over.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

That's probably not going to buff out.

Looks like the 4 wheeler was at a hot pace and couldn't hold his lane. Any word on the rider?

The rider survived thanks to his airbag suit....broken back but lived. The driver of the car immediately plead guilty and will serve 16 months.

Really glad to hear that the rider survived. Kind of hard to fight when your own dash cams show what you did. I've watched it a few of times and cringe every time.

Ride like everyone is out to kill you, I had several close calls on my bike. I have friends that push the bike to the limit, as I tell them, it's not your ability that will get you killed, it's the other guy's lack of ability.

Or his inability to pay attention to the task at hand.

Regarding the title of the thread, he'd have been lucky if the truck had missed him.

To quote the Hee Haw gang, "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all!"

Yep, always have to know where you will go when the idiots try to kill you.

Notice the biker froze on the brakes, nearly going over the bars before hitting the little car, dead center. He didn't even attempt to evade. There appeared to be places the rider could have gone to miss the car trying to kill him.

If the corner was truly blind, the rider should have approached slower. If the corner was not blind, the rider should have been looking ahead through it to see the dumbass in the WRX approaching.

Nope. Couldn't see it. I don't do the book of faces.

Dang, not sure why it is making people log in now. I dont do facebook either(although I hear my wife started one for my business that is full of cat memes, dont know why?). It didn't
make us log in before......

Edit....For some reason they took off the website.....here it is. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/motorcycle-crash-suzuki-k7-nottingham-a4331886.html

The rear-facing camera footage was graphic enough.
Lucky to be alive for sure, but that's a whole lot of hurt to go along with the "luck".

I was gonna post about a motorcycle crash but I'll get a ban hammer as this guy was cut in half with the street light post.

'Lucky' is in the eye of the beholder. If he was truly lucky, he would have been +1/-1 minutes up/down the road. Pretty horrifying, though
