This selection of pish was on another YouTube clip

I know drive cams frame rate (or something) can make road speed look faster than it really was but I think all of these are more biker bad attitude than car driver error.

A bike is a small target to notice in a busy background so bikes are often missed.

Rather than put all the onus on car drivers to look out for bikers, bikers also need to look out for them self in this adult world. Stop behaving like children and expecting everyone should be kind to you.

Most of the crashes were (and are) a result of the rider not paying attention and/or not being able to ride a motorcycle properly.

For instance, this guy hates his front brake: https://youtu.be/QOjjFlkVGeg?t=51s

It's probably the most avoidable accident I've ever seen. Sad

I gave you ''agree'', but I actually have seen worse. Razz

But still, not using the front brake is idiotic. Imagine if you only used rear brakes in your car, that would not end well.

Learned on dirtbikes I'd say, you're not automatically criminalised for doing that in the US so a lot more young 'uns
start their biking journey there, then eventually buy a harley.
