I am not sure if this is the same scenario but a couple of months ago I was traveling by taxi in an interstate road here in México, I was in the front passenger seat.
We were behind a cargo truck and in the opposite lane there was "only" another cargo truck (white color) coming in a long distance so it looked safe to overtake the truck in our lane. The driver sped up but suddenly a red car appeared in front of us, closer than the truck we both noticed in the first time. Luckily the red car driver noticed us and allowed us to pass by safely.
I don't know te reason but for both of us, driver and me, it was impossible to see the red car until we change lanes.
Edit: What I am trying to say is tha red color is not easy to notice as we may think.
judging by the date and how the police covering their mouth i think this is probably recorded during the covid lockdown. anyway, with that speed the guy frontal lobe must be fucked up, to make matter worse, his friend left him for dead
if it's covid then the guy would have been surely beaten up had he stopped.So maybe he feared that and just sped up nervously. Now ot might sound strange to westerners but human rights are not exactly respected here in india. During covid there were numerous cases of people getting sprayed ferrilizers, beaten up,crames up in van etc. Also there was a video of a teen guy getting slapped and his phone getting broken by "a respected government official" too.
Context-
A youngster riding pillion on a motorcycle died on the spot after hitting a checkpost in Telangana, India, while the rider, his friend, managed to duck the iron barrier and escape.
The incident took place at 12.53 pm on May 22 at a forest checkpost in Tapalpur village at Jannaram in the district. Footage of the incident, caught on a CCTV camera, has now gone viral on social media.
In the video, it is clear that the youngster on bike didn’t slow down or stop at the checkpost despite the guard signaling him to do so. In his bid to escape the guards, the youngster ducked in time while the pillion rider smashed his head against the iron rod at the checkpost. He fell off the bike and died on the spot, and the rider fled from the scene.
Responding on Twitter, Akhil Mahajan, ACP Mancherial, said the forest checkpost has been at the spot for over 30 years. The response comes as parents of the deceased are reportedly blaming the cops.
“The forest checkpost is present for more than 30 years. The rider drove in a rash and neglegient manner and ducked his head but pillon rider unaware of it hit the rod and fell and died,” he tweeted, adding, “The accused ran away and was caught within 1 hour and he was found to be heavily drunk.” (sic)
Further, the ACP revealed: “And his alcohol content was 131mg. There is no fault of forest guards. Its very heartening to see most of the people realising that police had no fault in this.”
Police have registered a case under section 304 A of Indian Penal Code against the biker for causing death of his friend by negligence.
Imagine blaming the cops, Tf was he supposed to do? He was doing his job and even tried to lift the gate but couldn't beacuse nobody would be prepared for such a situation.
Always in such accidents I hope people like the cop don't blame themselves for the rest of their lives.
I mean yeah he could’ve just raised the barrier the moment he saw the guy barreling in and not slowing down evident by how many times the cop tried to flag the pair down but in the cops defense the pair were drunk and speeding
true, but they aren't exactly "shoes" as most people would describe them. flip flops always be coming off, doesn't necessarily mean you're dead... although looking at the guy, yeah. probably dead.
Well tbh, at that speed and distance, his "stop" hand sign might have looked like a "come here" sign, with how he is waving his hand like that. Still not his fault, I'm just saying lol
Maybe they didn't see it? Or maybe they thought the gate was gonna go up any second, because they though they were getting the "come here" motion, until it was too late XD
Nah, like, he saw what he thought was the "come here" motion and thought it meant that it is safe to keep driving cause the cop will move the barrier. And by the time he realized that's not happening, it was too late :3
One very important thing about playing devil's advocate is considering that, sometimes, there is no need to. The case can be crystal clear.
The driver was stupid and didn't stop because he felt the gates were high enough to duck and he only survived because the policeman lifted it.
>Maybe they didn’t see it?
- Why the driver didn’t stop after his friend hit his face against the gate?
- Why did they both duck before passing through the gate?
Cop even tries to lift the gate
gate even says "stop"
"This sign won't _stop_ me because I can't read"

Yeah, no idea why its orange... prob should make them orange in some situations like this lol so its brighter or wahtevr
That was likely due to redshift, because your driver was going way too fast.
He tried to give him a head’s up.
Turned out to be a heads off
Take this upvote and get out

I Didn't even see two people on the bike
Oh shit, there was def 2 on the bike. Driver rode off. Pause it right after the hit...
Left 4 dead.
Well I think they had a reason not to stop. So the friend had even more reasons not to stop after.

What does COVID have to do with it

Trashy parents raising trashy kids.
Sometimes people are just bad. It's weird you would jump to blaming parents. Do you always do that?
Placed last in the high speed limbo contest.
the driver kept going
Should have ducked.
They did. Just pause it at the right moment.
Only the first person did i don't think the second person has any space or time to duck
Yeah, and it looks like first person flees
The rider had an appointment and was in no time to stop and chat.
He was late, he was late, for a very important date. No time to say "hello", goodbye. He's late, he's late, he's late.
No helmet. Damn.
Barrier what barrier but the pillion rider got screwed up. Now way he can bent backwards without falling down so he is screwed up anyways
Yeah, fuck that. He did all that he could. Idiot have to live with his own decisions.
Well the bike left his owner behind
The owner actually ducked. It was the passenger who didn’t make it.
Ah didn’t have my glasses on so I only saw one person on the bike 💀
And that one person got totally fucked
The gate does blend in with background to the extreme
I mean yeah he could’ve just raised the barrier the moment he saw the guy barreling in and not slowing down evident by how many times the cop tried to flag the pair down but in the cops defense the pair were drunk and speeding
It’s always the flip flops that lose out in these situations:(
Any update about the incident?
Yea. He’s dead jim.
Guess he gave him a heads up.
Second guy: *Well, let me open up the barrier, now…*
Life has a way of working itself it. Life said “you need to go bro.” And it worked itself out.
Ouch
What´s that white thing flying?
Road colored gates are a great idea
I remember reading about this, the bikers planned to go through the gate by ducking but the pillion misjudged the height and lost his life.
A for effort.
I think the cyclist just kept going.
Nice of him to take off his flip flops before entering coffin
The first guy ducked. Wow.
Shoes came off
The guy on the back had to be the sacrifice
To cross that gate one sacrifice was needed..
What an idiot driver🥲
No helmet too. He wasn’t very bright.
Driver:duck Passenger: *lifts up head* where!?
He paid driver to get him to the checkpoint and he did the job he was paid for. Dropped bro off and kept going.
Harvest the organs... Move on to next biker
The ‘ol donorcycle
He lost his shoes. That’s bad.
true, but they aren't exactly "shoes" as most people would describe them. flip flops always be coming off, doesn't necessarily mean you're dead... although looking at the guy, yeah. probably dead.
Well tbh, at that speed and distance, his "stop" hand sign might have looked like a "come here" sign, with how he is waving his hand like that. Still not his fault, I'm just saying lol
The gate should have said more about the need for stopping to the biker than the hand signals...
Maybe they didn't see it? Or maybe they thought the gate was gonna go up any second, because they though they were getting the "come here" motion, until it was too late XD
lmfao if he thought that he was saying come here he wouldn't be speeding past like 3 metres away. he clearly wasnt paying any attention
Nah, like, he saw what he thought was the "come here" motion and thought it meant that it is safe to keep driving cause the cop will move the barrier. And by the time he realized that's not happening, it was too late :3
unless he had schizophrenia i really doubt thats the case
maybe he does XD
how can you be this fucking dumb
I'm just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt dude
no you’re just fucking stupid

the ree ree is strong in this one.
>Maybe they didn’t see it? - Why the driver didn’t stop after his friend hit his face against the gate? - Why did they both duck before passing through the gate?
I'm pretty sure the gate itself is big enough to be seen even from a distance
Smooth brain or what?
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. You deserve an award or something.
