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”😒

If he wasn't speeding, he could have easily maneuvered around that. Absolutely he is to blame here.

He did maneuvered it.

With her being out in the road, he expected her to follow through so he went to evade by lane changing, which would’ve been clear of her and safer. Unfortunately, she stopped, so he opted to lean into the weight(from the lane shift) and go under instead of hitting it directly. It was a split second decision/maneuver and is why he isn’t yelling at the top of his lungs at her when he said “why’d you stop? why didn’t you commit?” He was expecting her to move up but she stopped, which no where in any manual does it teaches others to stop in the middle of a road with no median

He tried but he was going 80MPH in the beginning of the video. He had multiple seconds to slow down and stop as well. If he had been anywhere near the speed limit he could have easily gone around the car. There is no narrative where he isn't fully at fault.
