However, I'd have been slightly more aware at that junction.

[RhynoCZ]

He must be a noob, so credulous, so careless, especially on water at night going to a busy junction believing he's gonna get through at that speed.

Seemed like a long time between the 'shit' and the impact.
Long enough for a quick swerve.

Think he does brake, but it's the rear and he locks it up (I think I hear his rear slide after the "shit", might be wrong though). Doesn't seem to be using the front at all...

Concentrating on his speedo and not the road around him.


Speed cameras make the roads safer though, right?

Just been reading the comments and there's this article about the video.

[Tamsin]

I cant help but think he was being a dick and should have been a bit more aware of what was going on...

[thx1138]

reckon he distracted himself by yakking
also reckon those concerned passers by should've stopped interfering and let the doc do her stuff

[Alpha-9]

Why are people such pansies about getting up after, lay down on the ground and think about what they've done

Fuck sake mate you'd know if something was fucked else you wouldn't be able to get up

First off, i feel for the guy as i do anyone who gets knocked off.

However, i do think chatting to his camera and checking revs/speed etc didnt help.

I do think riders kind of play up to the video.

Typical bad riding conditions for any biker.... wet, lots of reflections and glare, hard to differentiate between vehicles and lights etc etc

Without the helmet cam... would he have approached that junction at that speed?
Would he have been checking his instruments going into a busy junction with cars turning right across his path?

The answer is obviously no, which is why i don't own one :/

After all that he didn't even get to check if the camera would flash again! Sounds like it really wasn't his day.

On a positive note, the ambulance was there really quickly, fair play to them. No idea on what the average response times are like over here, but I'd certainly feel reassured that I'd be looked after if by the time I'd scrambled to my feet after an off, the ambulance was just arriving and ready to check everything over.

From the time anybody really even had time to call the emergency services to them actually arriving couldn't have been any more than 2 minutes. Pretty impressed tbh .

Owwww!
Feel sorry for the guy but as mentioned above,
better to concentrate on hazards than chat to the camera.
Its dark, its wet, we know car drivers are only partially aware
of bikes at best, so you really need to be on your game
at junctions.
Fuck the gear and rpm, you need to be checking out options
for when it goes wrong

Maybe he could have approached the junction a bit slower and maybe he was going a bit fast for the conditions but in the end it was another SMIDSY. I'm not sure he could have done anything except hit her.
