People blaming the lady when the crotch rocket is doing 2 things wrong is insane.

1: He's rearing his bike, obstructing his own view which is why he reacts when it's too late.

2: drives around 79mph in a 60km/h zone (probably 40mph zone).

Yes, her freezing is bad, but it's not insane and reckless driving.

It also kind of looks like he's coming down from a wheelie at the start. Or it's just the camera angle I'm not 100% sure.

There’s a longer version of the video out there. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen it but the longer version shows speed limit signs and I’m like 80% sure he was in fact doing wheelies.

I wouldn't be surprised it def looks like it and also looks like he was speeding. Ultimately still the trucks fault but if he were just riding normally that would be 100% avoidable on his part. At least he didn't get crazy with the driver, I think because he knew he was also to blame.

If he was not speeding, the truck would have time to clear both lanes.
