He may have been going a tad fast but the woman was more than a tad blind.

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

She didn't seem too bothered. Lucky he was ok. Don't think the speed had much to do with it IMO. Looks a touch fast, but she would have pulled across anyway.

Judging by the relatively little damage and how far he (didn't) fly over the car, I'll take back what I said about him going a tad fast. I know how cameras can distort things, with my helmet camera it was always the other way round though, videos appeared much slower! Depends on the lens.

She seemed genuinely concerned at least!




(for her kid)

[Mario_Kempes]

Gives me the rage. Didn't even appear apologetic.

[Tungtvann]

Maybe if her kid got a fucking motorbike in the head she'd have been a bit more sorry for her actions!

[Sabs]

Can't blame her for checking on her child first, the poor kid was only a fraction away from having the bike crash right into him/her.

Agree with Arry for the rest, biker seemed ok if shaken. We don't get to see how sorry she was, how can you tell that she shrugged it off when the video stopped after 50 seconds.

He was only doing 30, around 20mph when he hit the car.

He said he last thing he saw was the childs face, when he raged once he calmed down (at the end of the vid) he did make sure the children were ok, which they were.

She's also admitted liability so it's all sorted, she's blind though. Maybe next time she'll look before possibly risking her, her children's and the biker's life.

Yeah it's pretty scary how she just pulled across. I couldn't believe it when I saw the kid. Glad the rider is ok.

It's not an excuse, but you can see from the shadows that the sun was pretty low and behind the bikes, which would have made it harder to see them.

Just something to think about if you're coming in from the sun (also helpful if you're attacking ze Germans).

Glad the everyone was ok though.

Sad thing is she needs to learn the error of her ways, an insurance claim probably wont do this, until she does it again and people get seriously hurt.

Hi All,

Lurk on here all the time but decided to sign up when the biker in the video is me

Speed was at the very most 32/33

[Tungtvann]

Good to see you were okay, shame about the bike! I think the crash shows how car drivers especially, need to pay full attention at all times. Kids in the car, texting, whatever, could mean someone dead in an instant.

I assume it's full liability for the insurance on her part?

[fireskull]

Yep, could have been so much worse! Gutted about my bike
It was just so unexpected I had clocked the cars, and at the time she was travelling same speed as the cars in front, next second she's turning in front of me, your average driver is stopped in the road, car is angled so you can expect what they are going to do, not this time :/

Yeah she's accepted full liability so no problems with insurance, not like she could anyway with video evidence lol

[Conzar]

[Rigga]

Scary how quickly everything can just go wrong. Glad you're ok

Should have reported her for dangerous driving. As it is, you have allowed her to do this to someone else in the future.
