This made me wince somewhat.

Slightly NSFW due to links on the site.

Looks like old mate on the bike may have gotten very lucky with this one.
He seemed to be moving pretty well just after impact but reckon he will feel it later.

Not sure if I think he should have spotted this one a little earlier and been able to miss it but you can't see enough I think to make a judgment.

Elderly people should be rigourously retested.

nearly all the dangerous car driving I see is either by 65+ year olds or -21.

Shockedf*ck I would be raging if that where me! I see the biker was for getting up probably in a rage himself.

Depends how much he was hurt though.

I know when I came off I went in a big rage and started shouting at the driver of the car Laughing
It made me feel better.

Is it me or was he going way too fast in the slow lane? I reckon its the bikers fault, too much speed and not enough judgement,

Car shouldn't have been in the middle lane going really slow with no indication when turning right to go 2 lanes.

Biker, however, should've seen this way before.

Both at fault but I think the driver more so as it was a stupid move.

Edit: Just saw he was indicating. Still think it was a stupid move though.

Normally if you ride defensively you can avoid that kind opf situation.

Obviously, but if it wasn't down to that stupid move it would've been avoided easily.

Hence why I said both at fault but more so towards cager. Like 60-40 / 70-30

Imagine if that was a big truck coming up that lane. Be nothing left of car driver.

Well I reckon the biker was at fault, you should be able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear. And if you drive into someone else it's usually your fault, no matter how stupidly they've behaved and this driver was behaving stupidly.

Yes you should be able to stop in the distance you can see clearly IN YOUR LANE. Likewise other drivers who want to move into that space should check their mirrors first for cars and motorbikes of any speed before manouvering.

Yeah I did think after posting that I could have been a bit hasty in my appraisal (cheers Lee). However, whilst I wouldn't wish an accident on anyone I believe the official advice is:

Quote:
Never ride so fast that you cannot stop comfortably on your own side of the road within the distance you can see to be clear
Motorcycle Roadcraft page 81 (italics mine)

I don't think that could be classified as a "comfortable" stop.
