I know the cop. I know all the cops. I got biker friends. Even my military friends know it's my cop friend's kid. I just wonder about the oranges of the video.

I got the best friends. I got the best words.

Bikers like to cause CHAOS which is why they park their ENGINEs like that.

It's an absolute mystery to me, how the guy in front STAYS on his bike, although he has two friggin' crows stuck in him and another biker crashing into his rear at 168mph all while driving on gravel...

Balls of steel

At 4:12 you can see a harness and cable attached to the biker. You can step through frame by frame using the , and . keys.

I'm a total self-confessed geek. I play video games, I like sci-fi, Star Wars AND Star Trek and I was even given a Lego Saturn V for my 40th by my friends who are also geeks. Hell, I work as a computer programmer.

I should find this show hilarious.

But I hate it.

Aside from the creepy undertones, it's a really tired stereotype. Yeah, I'm a geek and I like geek things, but I'm also a martial artist, a snowboarder and a mountain biker. And the same is true of all my "geek" friends. The idea that just because you like comic books means you're Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons hasn't been true for decades.

I literally don't know anyone like the characters on this show (and that's not "none of my friends are like this", that's "I don't think many people like this exist").

He accelerated to make the light...that's his mistake.

According to this study, even without antilock brakes and accounting for reaction time, 30m is plenty of distance to stop at that speed. Sorry.

Not 100% of the time. If the light had turned red while the car turning was in the intersection waiting to turn (almost what happened here), then they turned and a car runs the light and hits them, going straight, it's still the second cars fault.
BUT
That argument still ignores reality, which doesn't care who is legally at fault, it's the biker that will pay the price, so logically it's the biker that needs to be more careful. In this instance, he wasn't careful enough...or was, but just barely.

You keep saying that the biker 'committed' to making the light.

As I pointed out, I thought pretty clearly, when the light turned yellow, the driver, based on his speed and time of the video, was less than 30m from the intersection when most any stopping distance guide lists minimum stopping distances as greater than 30m. Physics had him committed to the intersection already.

As for proceeding with caution, I don't disagree, but 100% of the time the person crossing lanes going left is responsible for being sure that it is safe to do so. The driver proceeding through straight should do their best as well, but the responsibility is on the person crossing/changing lanes.

The fundamental point is that when the light turns yellow, the yellow car IS blocking his view, but he speeds up anyway, essentially committing to making the intersection.

At 0:02 the light is yellow and his speed is 54km/h. Less than a second later, his speed is over 60km/h. I'd argue that you can actually see a turn signal from the blue car at 0:05, but the video is blurry.

Either way, it's entirely predictable that the oncoming traffic in the middle lane might be turning left, so the sensible course of action is to proceed with caution.

I'm not saying the biker is an asshole. He just made a mistake and I'm glad he's ok. He certainly doesn't deserve to be injured.
