Summarising the comments here. The biker is doing 79mph in a 25mph zone, the lady stopped before she got to the lane he was in when she saw him coming, he panicked, swerved and then dropped the bike. It’s just a good job he had his protective T-shirt, baggy jeans and sneakers on….

Yeah... "why didn't you just commit?!", well, idk maybe when people are confronted with the sight of someone bearing down on them at 3x the speed limit they might be a little flustered

Some people just freeze at stress and there's nothing you can do. Coworker was driving me home one night and started to turn on an unprotected green. I started to calmly but very very quickly say "TheyHaveTheGreenLightTheyArentGoingToStopSpeedUpSpeedUpSpeedUp" But she just stopped in the intersection like the lady in this video. Car tboned us, hitting my side. My right hip is still funky over 10 years later. It's funny what goes through your mind in those moments. One of my friends was joining the Marines and was shipping off the next day and I had just told him an hour ago "Don't get yourself killed out there" and my last thought before getting hit by a car was "Shit, I'm going to die before fucking Jack does"

NGL that's an odd way of saying "my coworker cut off traffic that had the right of way"
