Never mind the speeding biker, and the total failure to apply the brakes...

thats what i noticed,Probably stuck to the seat with sh*t, wonder if they ever did get out the car, the biker has no chance with that video footage, but the car driver must have seen something due to the almost crawling into the petrol station before the smash

'Terrible day today, was turning into a petrol station on a quiet road when a speeding biker came out of nowhere and hit me. Fucking bikers should be banned'

Guess theres two sides to every story.

at the speed he was traveling I doubt the rider had much chance to do anything, perhaps a victim of his over confidence/pig headedness.

On a seperate note does anyone else get the huge 'superbike video loading' over the video?

And THAT is precisely why we have a system where by you pass your test first and THEN get to ride a bike. Not the other way around as it is in the US. If you've not passed a test then you've not ever been taught basic observation skills.

In this case imagine you are on the bike. Do you check your mirrors, read the speedo, check the fuel gauge? It could have been something as simple as that as to why he didn't brake in time.

You would have thought more would have stopped to help! When i had my crash there must have been at least 30 people helping me. Mind you it was just outside a busy bus stop.

I have to say I am quite shocked at how many cars simply drove past. Like the other guy said when I my off there must have been about 15 people making sure that I and the car driver was ok. There was one lady who stayed with me all until the ambulance arrived and made sure i didn't pass out .

Just my tuppenceworth, BUT, who said the biker was speading, that could easily have been a 50mph + road.

Agreed that it was awful about cars driving around the accident, as when I had my accident recently, there were, apparently, shit loads of people blocking the road and stopping to help!

Another thing to point out about that video is the time at the bottome left hand side of the camera, it all happened very quickly!

Looks like a combination of the biker going to fast and the car driver failing to see the biker. Nasty tho, hope he/she was ok.

Americans are so stupid, you can ride like a full power bike at 15 and because they are so cheap they all jump on busa's and kill themselves. Suppose it means a few less idiots in the world. Thumbs Up

when I threw my 50 at a hedge and myself at the tree, I was sat next ot the road, hugging the tree, and people drove by, a little old bloke stopped and nearly killed himself getting my bike out the hedge.

some people are just robots. god help them if the world ever gets like Mad Max..

One thing to note though.

In America if you stop to help and make the situation even slightly worse through incorrect application of help, then you get sued to fuck.

Perhaps it has to be 'seen' as not your fault for people to stop and help. A car had pulled out fast from picking her kids up at school without looking and she and I suffered the consequences.... The accident was witnessed by at least 40 people in the bus stop, A CID officer following me in the Police car behind, at least 10 people walking down the street at the time, and it happened right outside the Town's police station so even more Officers ran out to help!!

Even better was the bus stop turned out to be mostly filled with sixth form girls Very Happy

Look again, the front of the bike is diving under braking & his brake light is on.

What complete & utter bollocks, how the fuck does taking a bike test stop a car from turning left in front of you??
Gald to see you're such an expert on US licensing laws... You can't ride a bike here without taking a test. You have to take a written test to get a learners permit.
