ER6 with L plates, he was on his MOD2 or practising for it when he had that crash...

Paramedics+tripwire = response time target complete

Strangely, the learner has the beard of a man who has a full bike licence??

No, I think he meant along the lines of it looking like the front locked up and washed out.

Let's hope he opted to pay the £10 extra for insurance...

Yes it is rider rider error for grabbing a handful.. however he's under instruction via radio so if you're training him tell him he's too close. In pretty much all of the video the learner is too close to the van in front and he can't see past it. Compare the distance between the trainer and trainee and the trainee and the van.

So what was the instructor in the video saying?

You can't actually see any brake light, although the video barely has enough resolution to be sure.
At 21 seconds he is moving back to the left after the roadworks, rather too closely behind the pickup, then at 22 seconds he is on the floor.
I think basically caught out by the truck abruptly stopping, it had been going quite quickly so as to clear the traffic lights and get back to the left side but there was some obstruction ahead.

If the rider had been a little further back and had more road experience, the need to stop should have been anticipated.

[Suntan Sid]

Going by the reaction of the woman who appears on the scene, I'd guess the truck rear ended her car, hence the lack of brake lights.

So we cannot hear that the instructor offered no advice on following distance I imagine.

Also shouldn't this be in bike vids/found on the net?

He's lucky he didn't get splattered by an oncoming car. Ambulance would've been ironic.

Deffo too close to truck.
