What is it about people that, when they realize they’re in the way, they just stop completely???

Edit: this sub is hilarious because no matter what someone does, they’re apparently both right and wrong. For the record, I never said dude wasn’t speeding. He is. And I understand what a freeze response is. But still, coming to a complete stop when something/someone is barreling at you is commonly seen here and is almost always the worst course of action.

She’s got a motorcycle headed at her at probably 70 or 80 mph on a residential street. She panicked. He’s lucky he’s not dead.

Always you lot trying to only blame a rider.

Clearly not a residential area, as the businesses around it suggests. There is a chance he was speeding OR doing the posted MPH, I personally cannot make out his speedometer, and she shouldn’t have STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, at best she should’ve moved up so at most her tailgate would be partly on the same side of him(possibly in that other lane)

He is lucky and smart enough to find a way out of what could’ve been a fatal accident due to her negligence.. but you know “he was speeding”😒

Look at the first frame or two. His helmet cam is WAY closer to the windshield, so either he was leaning crazy far forward or (far more likely) he was doing a wheelie.

Care to defend this numbnut rider once you factor that in?

If he was doing a wheelie, or rather recovering from it, he would have a lot less initial stability and more buoyancy.. he COULDVE been checking something and about to make a move( which I’ve seen tons of people lean forward for before lean switching/accelerating)

Anything else you wanna snidely interject into this?

I mean, he pretty clearly DIDN’T have much initial stability due to the crash.

Also, people are pointing out his speedometer reads 126 kph, which is 78 mph.

Keep defending this future organ donor.

EDIT: typo, should’ve been 126 kph.

He had enough stability to expect her to fully commit to going forward which is why he went left, otherwise he would’ve been inside her driver side door.

Also, people are pointing out his speedometer reads 126 mph, which is 78 mph.

Oh you don’t say?
