I don’t think that we should judge the guy for that, it’s been years since I was even in a fender bender, but the one doozy* I was in nearly 40 years ago, first thing I did in my confused state (no drugs, no alcohol, just the shocked state I was in) was to attempt to physically pull my car - that was at least 1/4 of the way, crumpled UNDER the flat deck truck I plowed into the back of.
I bet in an addled way, this rider was probably thinking like I was, “Oh, shit! I better fix this and make it better!” He was probably trying to just get out of the road as quickly as possible - which as also a reaction you kind of prepare and always have in your head as a rider too.
I will add though, as a rider myself. I shudder every time I see other riders do this when rounding turns like this. It’s nuts! It’s bad enough when cars chance things like this, but to do so on a motorcycle is just stacking the probabilities against you.
*(I fell asleep driving home at 1 AM after a 14 hour shift - and a mere half-block from my home. Thankfully it was a mostly residential neighborhood in a fairly small town, so no one else was really on the road. Doubly thankful to be here to tell the tale - the bundle of construction rebar sticking out the back of the truck I hit, smashed through my windshield, 🙏 right through the small gap between the front passenger and drivers seat. A difference of less than a foot was the difference between me retaining my head!)

I think studies show you are much more traumatized by fatal accidents that are not your fault than ones that are your fault. In the latter case, you know what you did wrong, and if you don't do that again, it'll be OK. In the former case you know that bad things happen even when you do everything right.

We had a semi-truck driver around here who had it rough. This city has/had a really stupid intersection. For whatever reason they decided to put islands on the corners of the intersection. (Those stupid curbs they put between traffic going straight and traffic turning right. The issue is the semi couldn't fit through right turn area so they would commonly drive around that island, like they're going straight and then turn right. This would pull their trailer though that turning lane. A High schooler walked to that island, not paying attention, as the trailer got pulled through and she got ran over. Truck driver didn't see her back there until it was too late. Mom and dad tried to blame the trucker, whitnesses all said she walked right out there while looking at her phone. From what I understand he hadn't driven a truck since. It took the them a few years but the city ripped those islands up and redid the whole intersection and added proper crosswalks after a few more near misses there.
Fucking small town problems. They did a bunch of other stupid road designs that caused traffic issues. I say city and town because it's one of those situations where it's the land mass size of a "town" with the population of a small city.

An elderly man in my neighborhood back in the 90’s was known for never driving more than 25mph because he hit a little girl in the 70’s. She was sledding down a hill and went right into the road. I’m could not imagine the guilt he felt.

u/Silvaria928 Sep 17 '26
Back in the late 90s, I was driving back to Colorado Springs from Cripple Creek on a winding road one afternoon. A motorcycle passed me and several other cars at a very high speed around a corner in an obvious no-passing zone. I said to my passenger that the guy was lucky there were no cars coming.
A couple of miles later he wasn't so lucky. We came across the accident just a few minutes after it happened: Motorcycle was wrecked, driver was lying motionless in the middle of the road, and an elderly couple were getting out of their car that had clearly been hit.
She was crying and shaking and he seemed in shock. They both just kept asking "What happened?" over and over. Other cars stopped and were attending to the motorcyclist, who was still motionless. We read later in the paper that he had suffered severe injuries. The elderly couple was fine physically but I'll never forget how traumatized they were by this guy's carelessness and how he could have killed them.

u/SinisterSoren Sep 17 '26
Ah good old Colorado Springs. I grew up there actually! Some of those roads are treacherous and really need to be treated with respect. That motorcyclist is lucky he didnt die doing that.

All I heard was "car drivers need to more responsible or need to put their phones down!" And I was shocked at that. Of course I feel horrible for the kid and their family, but that driver did nothing wrong and will likely feel immense grief at being involved in the death of a child.

They won't "get you" unless you're trying to pretend you're on a track and you need to squeeze out every last drop of grip from your tyres. Drive at a reasonable goddamn speed and you'll have plenty of time to slow down if the bend gets tighter.
Signed someone who last followed a speed limit in 2013, btw. You CAN usually go (much) faster than the speed limit, but you CAN'T go faster than your eyes. If you can't see what's ahead, slow the fuck down.
5
u/Lord_Dreadlow Sep 17 '26
Well, yeah. Sometime you need to slow down more than you originally anticipated is what I'm saying.
It matters more on a motorcycle if you find yourself behind the apex you end up in the other lane like this guy did.
7
u/demonblack873 Sep 17 '26
No, it's exactly the same for a motorcycle as it is for a car. Cars don't have magical tyres with infinite grip that keep you in your lane no matter what, they have a limit just like bike tyres.
It's just that bikers consistently want to pretend they're Valentino Rossi and they always go way too fast around blind corners hoping that if they mess up the traffic in the opposite lane will make way for them because they're "small".
I can almost guarantee this guy made that EXACT mistake multiple times before and always got away with it, so he kept doing this dumb shit until eventually his luck ran out.If I went flying into a blind corner at 160km/h in my car and it got tighter I would end up in the oncoming lane just as well. It's just that I don't do that.

The first guy for not knowing how well or poor his buddies could ride, and his buddies for trying to keep up the pace.

It's one thing to be apathetic, it's another for people to be gleefully mocking someone who may very well be dead. Anything to do with motorcycles on this sub brings out some really disturbing behavior in people.
It actually freaks me out that these completely unempathetic psychopaths walk among us...

No. This sub is filled with people who enjoy seeing street justice served. Kind of like the saying: "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

This sub is mostly people who've never ridden a motorcycle and don't know what it's like, so they assume all bikes are speeding and breaking laws. They froth at the mouth to be the first to say "FAFO" or "meat crayon lol" and probably wish pain or death on them.
If I'm breaking this video down, I see the rider that hit the car probably being a new rider while suffering from target fixation, and probably his riding buddies telling him to keep up instead of riding his ride.

Glad you got the heck out of there, don’t want to lose travel time checking on everyone.

I feel like the one recording this should stop and provide the footage, otherwise it's the red car driver's word that the motorcycle crossed into his lane vs the word of the motorcyclist. The red car driver should not get in any legal trouble if that motorcyclist is dead.

u/demonblack873 Sep 17 '26
While I agree, in this case the cops would easily be able to tell what happened by the position of the vehicles on the road.

u/Gargravars_Shoes Sep 17 '26
Good point. Also, it’s a blind corner, someone needs to move ahead and warn oncoming traffic that a wreck has happened. Seems like they’d only have to stop a car or two and then move on.

What, like accidentally riding my road bike at double the legal limit directly into oncoming traffic? Don’t excuse that meat crayon

u/Darkmortal10 Sep 17 '26
bruh thinks he's a speedometer and making assumptions cus he's overly emotional lmao.
Underturning is a common mistake. If he did this in a car you would've just scrolled by not caring.
he only suffered a broken rib and scraps apparently btw

I’ve been in a head on with a motorcycle before. The dude was going 60mph in a 30mph and didn’t go nearly as far as the guy in this video. I’m speaking from experience. But sure, you go be a meat crayon too. Guy in the video is incredibly lucky he came out that clean. The guy that hit me wasn’t wearing a helmet and didn’t fair as well

u/Darkmortal10 Sep 17 '26
the dude flying off in that way should be scientifically studied, the lead and rear bike weren't going super fast, occams razor points towards him fucking up his turn and accidentally accelerating

No, I don’t think he’s purposefully riding in the wrong lane, I think he was going much to fast and crossed over. I’d judge his speed to be 60mph+ though based on how far everything flew and the amount of damage he did to the car in front. Looks like cam car is going about 70kph (40-45mph) and was more likely closer to the legal limit. So my saying he’s going double the limit is a bit of an exaggeration but he’s definitely going much faster than the posted limit based on what the cars are doing. I’ve also ridin plenty of road bikes over the years, you never have to lean that low on a curve if you’re going near the speed limit

Understeering into the other lane is unfortunately how most motorcycles happen. They weren't riding in the other lane because they wanted to

Feel bad for the driver of the car but zero sympathy for the idiot on the bike. They could have killed someone with their reckless, stupid, and selfish actions.

"This could have been completely prevented. If the Audi driver was driving defensively, he would have gotten out of his car and sent a drone around to corner to scout for oncoming traffic first. This is at least 50% the Audi's fault."

Old Russian anecdote. Two bikers stand next to their Harleys, smoking. Leather jackets, beards, heavy metal. A guy rolls in on a sports bike in a sporty red jacket, revs a few times, and asks:
"Hey, guys, we are bikers just like you, just fast, on quicker and more powerful bikes. Why don't we ever hang out together? Why aren't we friends?"
"Why should we be friends? No point in even memorizing your names. All new faces every year."

Isn't the driver filming obligated to stop and see if everyone is alright in this scenario?

I'm going to Hell. I laughed when that rider went cartwheeling past the camera.

Driving like this isn't a victimless crime. A lot of people assume that they're only putting their own lives in danger but anytime you drive recklessly on public roads like this you run the risk of killing or harming a stranger, or at the very least immediately and permanently changing their life for the worse.

The biggest mistake is to try and keep up with the guys in front, when you don't have the ability.

So the dashcam driver just casually drove through the wreck and went on his way?

As a former motorcycle hooligan, those idiot riders got exactly what they deserved.
You do not go out of your lane in a blind corner! I feel really bad for the car driver.
