Near Miss
The moment the yellow can is half clear of the intersection the vehicle that cuts left when unsafe is already visible, aka clear line of sight. Predicting that another driver is likely to veer in for a head on collision is impossible. I've watched a couple times and can't see any turn signals either. What's with everyone getting on the biker here?
Other lessons possibly don't accelerate into an intersection with a yellow light when you don't have a clear line of sight?
Near Miss
Rewatch the video, when it starts the light is green.
-The time on the video is 1 second in when the light turns yellow
-His speed at that time is 54km/h, default speed limit in Canada in urban centers is 50km/h but plenty of stretches are 60km/h, decent odds his 5k under versus over.
-The time on the video when his front wheel hits the stop line is 3 seconds.
From that we can say the time from the light turning yellow, to him reaching the point he needed to stop was 2 seconds. At 50km/h, lets work out the distance. 50 km/h works out to 13.9m/s, so the moment the light went yellow he was maybe 28metres from the stop line.
Australian government says that dry road stopping distance for a family car at 50km is 35m. Now, sometimes a bike can perform better braking, sometimes it can perform worse, but it doesn't seem that it's obvious a biker should be able to stop in 28m the instant a light goes yellow, seems that passing through is not only prudent, but quite likely the only option that physics allows.

Or when you're on a motorcycle actually follow the rules of the damn road?
Yellow means stop if it's safe. He had tons of room to stop and decided to hit the gas instead. LOS doesn't matter, he was the one breaking the law, yellow light is the left turner's chance to turn.
Guy was being a prick and then complains about the other guy's driving.
There's a reason the majority of organ donations come from motorcyclists.
Also, missed this the first time round. He's in an urban area doing 60. So on top of running the light, he's speeding!
When road rage goes terribly wrong
The biker was an idiot and the car driver was either incompetent or an asshole (likely both).
It might have been that the truck driver was simply trying to get around the accident. Stopping is not always the safest course.
Either way, the truck driver contributed nothing to the cause of this accident. Saying that he even partially deserved to die is going a bit far IMO.
He stepped on the gas when he saw an accident happening and so it would not have been entirely undeserved. He could have stopped, same as the car ahead, if he wanted to be safe. Sigh drivers.
When road rage goes terribly wrong
I wouldn't dare to place blame in this video, but I gotta say the biker is totally stupid for thinking that, on a rolling motorcycle at hwy speeds that you should elect to kick a moving car instead of tapping your brakes.
A heart pounding chase
The biker is speaking in Spanish the whole video. He mostly says 'aguas' which in Mexico means 'watch out!' to everyone, and then in the end he says 'Thank you, I dont know who the owner is'. I think it was a crazy coincidence and a random act of compassion.
A heart pounding chase
I think the biker was just chasing it down. It seemed to come in from the right at the beginning of the video.
The real problem is likely the whole "walking a dog from your bike on-leash in a city." deal.
How to Brake

Just because you have the right of way does not mean you are safe.
If you pause at the 12-second mark you can see the biker is going 80mph. Is the speed limit 80mph? Leading up to the accident, he's passing other cars like they are standing still. Going much faster (or slower) than traffic around you always increases your risk.
He's traveling too quick for conditions, or even for his own reactions and brakes.

The accident is the fault of the car that pulled out, but this biker could have avoided the accident altogether if he had slowed down to comparable speeds of the traffic around him.
But what would he do that for? He's a youtube asshole who took down other videos of him being an asshole who now has one of his vids go viral to the point that he makes money off it. Insurance will cover the repairs to his bike.
Look at how he drives: https://streamable.com/jewxu
He's a cocky asshole who instigates problems on the road.
So yeah, the car that pulled in front is technically at fault. That doesn't make this guy some kind of angel. It's possible he consciously allowed himself to hit the car....

Technically!?!
The bike was in the carpool lane, where travelling faster than other traffic is expected, that's why the lane exists. He was not going inordinately fast, traffic in the fast lane was going pretty slow.
The car crossed two lanes and a double yellow line without looking or matching traffic speed in the lane(s) it was entering. Any one of those mistakes is enough to make this technically the car's fault, all 3 together leaves no question and removes the technicality completely.
100% the car's fault. Not even 1% the bike's fault. He did absolutely nothing wrong.
Bike/Motorcycle Crash, Chase, Fight, and Escape
Bunch of douchbags.
This is why people intentionally run cyclists over, assholes like this.
I hope the next bike he wrecks is ridden by an over zealous cop that breaks his legs and gets away with it. (Not really) Get his ass off the road.
All those bikers should be in jail, they acted as a group/gang, charge them as a group/gang.

Technically, the car is at fault here but...
The biker was speeding, travelling MUCH faster than the general speed of traffic, and has a history of douche-tastic behaviour on the road.

The biker went through and made a number of videos private that prove how much of an asshole he is.

Do Not Go Bike Riding in Slovakia!!!
See first comment.
Biker was coming to a downhill switchback where the bear was heading. Bear could have been waiting for him below.
And---why the heck would you stop?? You can't outrun a bear; and you can't out climb it. You might JUST be able to stay in front of it downhill on a mountain bike.

Olympic Cyclist Vs. Toaster
Just for comparison, I'm a reasonably fit mountain biker and my average power output is ~200w.
This dude is doing 3 and a half times the work!
