Subaru c*nt was on the wrong side of the road and nearly killed a biker.
He was on the WRONG side of the road.
Wait for driver to come out of prison and someone needs to hammer his wrists and ankles allegedly .
With a bit of luck the Subaru driving c*nt will catch cancer and die slowly painfully.
The sad thing is that it’s more than likely to go to court and his solicitor will find a way for the c* t to wiggle out of proper punishment.
“M’lud, my client is suffering from ptsd after the incident and a custodial sentence will be just to traumatic for him M’lud”
Judge gives him a £50 fine and tells him not to do it again . ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

He should have been on the left hand edge of the road to extend his view. If he'd done that, he'd have seen the car earlier and backed off. And with ABS he'd have shed more speed and been able to steer left a little bit and miss the car. |
There's absolutely no fault with the rider in this one, I really don't think it's appropriate for you to try and be clever about it. Have you paused the video around the 18 second mark, as the bike comes into view of the car?
While I fully agree with the left edge for blind corners, with the extra height of being on a bike I believe he would have seen the silver roof from way back down the road, there appears to be a really clear cross-view. Then when the driver allows the car to run wide across the centre line, mid corner, the bike is still on the straight and starts to brake, hard, and there's no moving to the nearside once he's squeezing the shit out of the front brake. So you are totally wrong. |
I'm not trying to be clever for the sake of it, I'm just trying to stay alive and out of a wheelchair. There are lessons to be learned from this poor chap's fate.
I don't agree there's a clear view. Have a look at the vid at 16s - the car is coming out of a slight dip.
Anyway, if the biker had seen a car roof coming at 70 mph, he would instinctively have moved to the left. Anyone would do that.
And even if the Subaru roof was visible, a low-roofed sports car would have been hidden by the wall.
If the biker had been over to the left, and he'd had good ABS, the outcome would have been very different. He might have hit the car at a much, much lower combined speed, or he might have missed it altogether.
Edit: I used the lat and long from the dashcam to find the road on Streetview. Here's the bker's view: https://goo.gl/maps/krTMgr3xfUMdDvtw7 |

FWIW, I agree that good ABS might have helped to reduce speed - once you've gone stoppie, your braking power is much lower, any more and you flip. More importantly ABS leaves you with functional steering even while you're braking hard instinctively. It's not just about minimizing stopping distances, but having some element of control.
It's very unfair to second-guess reactions once an accident has become inevitable - all your expectations about how the world works are broken. You can only ride at speed because predictions about what's going to happen get baked into your unconscious and muscle memory. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
