At the point of impact the rider was near enough on the white line himself. Yes the car was straddling the white lines but I would have been a little more over to the left going in to right hand bend to get a better view of the road ahead.
Even if you want to ride that far toward the centre of the road I would have given up my position. Flesh & Bone vs Metal cage = only one winner!!  ____________________ Suzuki SFV 650 (Gladdy) > Triumph Street Triple R |

I had similar happen to me. I was in the same positon as the rider in the video. ( Except a bit further off the white line)
The car overtook a cyclist coming round the corner, so was fully in my lane. At 50mph there isnt anywhere for you to go other than to throw it at the scenery and hope.
I clattered down the side of the car, peeling it open like a tin, but managed to stay on, with only my left leg working. ( left shoulder disloated from the bars digging into the car, right leg was compressed between the car and my tank and my right wrist was ruined.)
He didnt stop either. ____________________ Suzuki GT250 x7------- Fazer 600------CB250RS------Aprilia Rally 70----- Bandit 600

This. Doesn't mean the car driver was innocent though, but I personally don't go towards the center of the road if I can't see around the bend. For this reason. |
+1, have always thought to ride like this, in the CBT I remember being taught to consider road position.
Be prominent and be seen is the first rule, when it comes to cornering, sweep in wide to give yourself a wide field of view and so that you are clear of any hazards oncoming or sharing your lane, ie cyclists or walkers (They can be anywhere).
Common sense no?
The one time I remember flouting this rule, I came rather uncomfortably close to an oncoming camper.  |
