Why you shouldn't ride scooters..........

[Livefast123]

If only he'd had a bit more power than his scoot offered.......maybe a CG or a YBR would have given him the necessary power to outrun the truck

RIP (I i couldn't see an 'L' plate)

Savage accident

Not sure it would've made much difference....that truck driver was clearly determined to get his full 10 points!

@ OP

Maybe the rider could have moved to the right......

But that could have happened to anyone on any bike, scoot or moped.

What the hell.... everyone was doing about 70 anyways.. If only he went where his moped went and his ped went where he went...

But in honesty, i think that drivers in the uk are more friendly and safer

[Rob W]

Looks like he just rammed into him, probably didn't feel a thing in that truck.

At least the bike will only be a bit scratched!

[Paxovasa]

It would not have made a difference if he was on a R1, once you get rear ended you are fucked.

I had a 10 mph crash off the lights and a truck turned left onto me. Didn;t even think much at the time but if he carried on :o

RIP indeed, China-bro.

Hmm, I don't remember blind spots even being mentioned on the CBT. There could really be a whole day of "And here's another way you can get killed...". Apparently the BikeSafe course covers that.

Looks to me like that truck driver failed to see him.

Pretty sure blindspots were mentioned in CBT and test.
Can remember the instructor standing in the blind stop to demonstrate.

Where are the re-post police?

The scooter rider made a bit of an attempt to get out the way moving to the left, but not quick enough.

I think it shows why its good that the new bike test has a swerve component to it. If the scooter guy had swerved to the left quicker, he would have been alive. He didnt know what would be approaching in that lane, as his view into that lane would be obscured by the truck in his lane, but still better to be there than in the path of the truck.

True though that a more powerful bike could have just sped up to get out of the way.

The big red splat was a bit shocking.

Why would anyone need a reason not to ride a scooter? Unless they were either a 16 year old girl or a poofter, surely no one would ever consider doing something as fundamentally wrong as riding a scooter?
