The truck jumped the red light......

shady twat!

[RePT]

awch. God save the rest of us from a situation like that! glad he looks 'ok'!

Guy in the truck needs to do the time, if the biker was going a tiny bit slower he'd probably be dead, and he said it'd just gone from green to red, 1 admitting it was red when he went through it. 2 he had green for like 10 seconds so the other lights would have been red before the truck was anywhere near them.

Clear enough who was to blame, but the video is somewhat compromised by the friend constantly doing wheelies even through junctions, and *perhaps* the focus on trying to film that contributed to not spotting the truck (which was travelling pretty slow)

He was very fortunate not to break any bones there. I love the way the truck driver was called out on it straight away ("you ran a read light", "yeah I know") then a minute later his story changed to not having time to stop. What a dick!

I'm amazed that some of you are saying the rider could have avoided it.

*See truck running a red light heading into your path* would not correlate with *pin it!* for me

Now that's a good reason to have a POV camera.

The biker was riding too damn fast.

If an emergency vehicle had -legally - run the red light he'd have been hit by a police car, ambulance or fire truck, or possibly the coastguard. The driver was at fault but the biker was setting himself up for an accident so I can't feel all that sorry for him.


I've got to say the guy on the green bike was doing some pretty damn cool stunts tho.

Would be interested to know what came of that collision. Obviously the truck drivers fault but I can't see a number plate on that bike or his mates bike. Now I don't know the laws over there but I would imagine that there would need to be a plate on the back.
