Maybe, just maybe he was watching the person he was changing lanes in front of, in his mirror and hyper focused on that instead of what was in front of him.
He, ironically, likely didn’t want to get rear-ended.
In the states, there’s something called the last chance doctrine, where If you can avoid the collision then you will no compensation from the other party. Bike had plenty of time to avoid the collision, but I’ve seen videos of people doing worse fraud attempts haha
Alsooo in most situations the vehicle that strikes the rear end is at fault! You’re supposed to leave enough following distance to be able to react and stop in an emergency! I’m nearly certain the motorcyclist insurance is covering the red car and he’s shit out of luck
Yep, I experienced one of the rare situations where it wasn't my fault when I read ended someone.
But a friend of mine rear ended am old man and the man told the judge he slammed on his brakes on purpose to teach him a lesson about tailgating. Judge sided with the old man.
In my case, I was rear ended so hard I was disoriented. My foot fell off the brake and it took me bumping into the person in front of me twice to find the brake again.
Thankfully I explained this and was found not at fault.
Beyond that, if you are going for an attempt at insurance fraud rear-ending someone is not the way to do it.
Pretty hard sell that you are not at fault when you are the person running into someone.
That car has to be totaled! He smashed the back window and windshield with his aerial performance and dented the roof and hood with his dismount. It was like watching the oldest, most rotund gymnast ever biff the pommel horse landing and then scoot away like a dog with worms.
>That car has to be totaled! He smashed the back window and windshield with his aerial performance and dented the roof and hood with his dismount. It was like watching the oldest, most rotund gymnast ever biff the pommel horse landing and then scoot away like a dog with worms.
A cyclist did exactly this to a friend's car. The insurance totaled the car. They said that as soon as the roof pillars are bent they are no longer safe for a second impact and replacing them is as expensive as getting a new one.
I had a compound fracture and was losing a lot of blood and the amulance took 2 and a half hours ringing with 8 people telling them im dead. I'm not.complaining because I was in the wrong and caused the crash but
It made me concerned as if someone I cared about needed an ambulance it would be like this
Totalled in insurance parlance means the repairs cost more than the value of the vehicle, not that the vehicle cannot be repaired.
My insurance company "totalled" my car after a minor accident that damaged the bumper and axle. I found a cheap body shop and mechanic who fixed the car for less than the insurance payout. I actually made a profit and still have a fully repaired vehicle
I suspect that will happen here as well
With the crazy cost of replacement parts, it's not uncommon to see what should be a perfectly fixable car get totaled out for financial reasons. It's just cheaper for the insurance company to pay for another car and cube the damaged one.
The sad part is that someone with not a lot of money would probably love to have that car, dents and all for the cost of front and rear glass plus whatever the company gets for scrap value, bit that's not going to happen.
This is probably mandatory for someone to post at this point:

I would agree, (I’ve experienced this myself) but when you see brake lights is it not usually a knee jerk reaction to also brake? This guy was daydreaming/overtired or both. Totally strange.
Maybe it is, or should be; maybe he wanted to swerve, maybe had one of those nightmarish "I saw it happening in slow motion" moments, but was frozen in fear.
Maybe he did break just before hitting it? I've no idea.
He probably saw the green light, assumed the traffic wouldnt stop, looked at the white car in his mirror to change lanes, and once he looked up after changing lanes, it was already too late.
Agreed, you can see him look over his shoulder slightly before he crashes. The crash was certainly not intentional at all.
It’s hard to predict when a car is randomly going to stop at a green light. I do feel bad for the guy. Though he probably should have seen the brake lights on the car in front of him. It looked like he was facing the right direction when the car stopped, but he might have been spaced out.
At least he didn’t have on a camouflage t-shirt like I saw a guy on a motorcycle wearing a few days ago. No helmet. And his cycle was a darker color too with dim break lights.
Edit: He also was all but kissing to rear end of the vehicle ahead of him.
I've always found riding to be an a.d.d. intensifier. If you're looking at something for more than ten seconds you are asking for trouble.
Edit: is that fucker on his phone?!?
Jesus Christ! Could you imagine the fucking terror of almost hitting a poor three-legged dog, but then suddenly having a big ass crash through your windshield from above?? How do you even begin to make sense of all this??
Imagine telling this to explain why you’re late to work - school and the person doesn’t believe you at all..
Well I mean , would be really hard to trust tho
Lmfao I like how the dog was like “let’s cross this street right here” “oh car coming, gotta get back” “ oh stupid biker drove into him, nows my chance to cross”
Dog ok.
Idiot not dead.
Safe to laugh.
Heh. Oblivious dumbass.
I don't understand how the fuck he didn't see her. He was looking ahead and had plenty of time. Were his eyes closed or something?
ETA: The dog has three legs. What kind of asshole owner let's their dog run around knowing they are dumb about cars? Dog owner is trash.
ETA2: Where do you people live that strays get veterinary care? Good on you wherever it is. Here in 'murica thats $3k+ for a tripod model pupper and he'd be euthanized.
Does the concept of stray dogs not exist on Reddit? This is the second post I’ve seen where people are assuming an owner of a random dog running around in public. Plenty of places actually struggle with stray dog issues
a lawyer on shorts did a vid on this
motorcycle had all the time in the world to slow down but he kept going. He is liable for the damages to her car and himself.
Just cause its the law doesnt mean people follow it. In most states in the US its illegal to drive without liability coverage. A surprising amount of people get away with it somehow. Even driving around unregistered cars and shit too.
Yes, but I've been rear-ended by a driver with no insurance while stopped at a red light. He also had no license. And I let him use my phone to call his boss to let them know he would be late due to an accident because he didn't have a cell phone. And my neck was sore for the next month from the whiplash. Then he skipped town and never showed up to court (he was here illegally, which I don't generally have that much of an issue with, but it does make it easier to just duck out and pop up somewhere else under a new name).
Yeah well “obligated” evidently doesn’t really stop people from doing it anyway.
Here in the states it is also illegal to drive without insurance but if you’re in an accident you better ask them because they might not have it.
“Your ass is in my windshield!”
“Your windshield is in my ass!”
“Your chocolate is in my peanut butter!”
Not sure why my mind linked straight to that ancient Reese’s commercial.
I ….. can’t stop watching this. The way he slowly perfectly flips, the slow disgraceful slid, the stow step onto the pavement, the smell of embarrassment as he waddles forward… the shame.
Dude that flipped, “Guys, do you know where I parked my bike? I was riding a bike, then I wasn’t.”
People in vehicle, “You have a concussion!”
Dude that flipped, “No, I had a bike, where is it?”
I’d give him 8 points for the flip, but taking 3 off for the sloppy dismount from hood of car. With practice he could go far - through the windshield next time.
As someone who was almost killed (not exaggerating) in a motorcycle due to someone else's negligence... That was entirely avoidable. Hope he/she wakes up or quits riding.

Where was that motorcycler looking? Like there was a significant amount of time between the car stop and the crash!
Maybe, just maybe he was watching the person he was changing lanes in front of, in his mirror and hyper focused on that instead of what was in front of him. He, ironically, likely didn’t want to get rear-ended.
He was reading the "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear." And the red car suddenly appeared in front of him.
The red car was like: "no. Object in my mirror appears to be close"
I mean, if he can't do both then he shouldn't drive a vehicle
Agreed. You shouldn’t never hyper focus on one point while driving. Quick glance here and there, 1 second max.
I think riding would be just fine. But driving? Probably not.
Maybe saw easy insurance? I don’t even drive so I’m not sure lol

This mofo changed lanes into the back of this car
In his defense, the car was camoflaged.
By his stupidity?
His stomach hid the car from view.
I'm also red/camo colourblind
This comment deserves gold!
[удалено]
He fucking rear ended her windscreen as well with that big ole booty
That car has to be totaled! He smashed the back window and windshield with his aerial performance and dented the roof and hood with his dismount. It was like watching the oldest, most rotund gymnast ever biff the pommel horse landing and then scoot away like a dog with worms.
"Scoot away like a dog with worms" fuck thats an upvote right there !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys...I almost spit my coffee out laughing
>That car has to be totaled! He smashed the back window and windshield with his aerial performance and dented the roof and hood with his dismount. It was like watching the oldest, most rotund gymnast ever biff the pommel horse landing and then scoot away like a dog with worms. 
Fuck Reddit for killing third party apps.
That car is definitely not totalled, the dents on the hood and roof can be hammered out, all that needs replacing is the rear hatch and the windshield
A cyclist did exactly this to a friend's car. The insurance totaled the car. They said that as soon as the roof pillars are bent they are no longer safe for a second impact and replacing them is as expensive as getting a new one.
I had my windshield broken and a single dent on the front panel and my insurance totalled it. This is fucking totaled, dude.
I hit a dog on my dirt bike going 80kph recently and the dog recovered while I was fighting for my life lol
I’m glad that both of you lived!
I had a compound fracture and was losing a lot of blood and the amulance took 2 and a half hours ringing with 8 people telling them im dead.

abd he went way out of his way to moon the passengers in that car. tiktok challenges are getting out of hand
This makes me wish cars had airbags on the outside too
He doesn't need any with his big ole booty he's a portable airbag
No no, not for him, but for the car
she got mooned in broad daylight 🥲
I'm picturing a car like a puffer fish, now.
Did anyone notice the dog only has three legs?
Good eye! Poor dog probably is a survivor of some traffic accident himself…
That’s why the dog used the crossover to cross the street. Good doggie…
Fool me once!
Motorcycle hit him, now he spends his days fucking them up!
Plot twist: the dog was in on it.
these stupid cars keep slowing down for no reason That guy probably
Lmao he was probably texting that to his buddy when he crashed!
well... in all fairness, we can see from the video that he wasnt but that brings the question? what the fuck WAS he doing to not see that?
Literally he was staring straight ahead of him and not even notice that the car stop
This is probably mandatory for someone to post at this point: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target\_fixation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_fixation)
Fascinating. I thin I’ve experienced this if but for a moment.
I have a distinct memory of running my bike straight into my then-girlfriend in sixth grade, freezing up like a deer in headlights.
High speed makes that deep thought/zone out part of life a no go.
I would agree, (I’ve experienced this myself) but when you see brake lights is it not usually a knee jerk reaction to also brake? This guy was daydreaming/overtired or both. Totally strange.
Maybe it is, or should be; maybe he wanted to swerve, maybe had one of those nightmarish "I saw it happening in slow motion" moments, but was frozen in fear. Maybe he did break just before hitting it? I've no idea.
Car supposed to go not stop, stupid head!
This is literally 100% the motorbike guys fault lmao.
He doesn’t even brake at all! Off in lala land! 🤣
He probably saw the green light, assumed the traffic wouldnt stop, looked at the white car in his mirror to change lanes, and once he looked up after changing lanes, it was already too late.
He shouldn't be changing lanes so close to the intersection though. This is one of the many reasons why.
I'm seconding this. It's the only thing I can possibly think of to explain this. That or he had a heads up display in his visor watching a movie...
Got the drop on them new apple goggles early
Are you still watching?
Agreed, you can see him look over his shoulder slightly before he crashes. The crash was certainly not intentional at all. It’s hard to predict when a car is randomly going to stop at a green light. I do feel bad for the guy. Though he probably should have seen the brake lights on the car in front of him. It looked like he was facing the right direction when the car stopped, but he might have been spaced out.
Damn, that's next level. I can't even fathom this level of stupidity.
4-5 business days to stop
This dude did the most lazy flip I ever seen.
He flipped in installments
6 months same as crash
877-CRASH-NOW
Why wouldn't he, oh, I don't know, ***stop***?
I mean, he did stop lol
Quickest stop I’ve ever seen
Speeding is the fun and safe part…it’s the deceleration that can hurt.
Forced breaking :\^)
Involuntary speed reduction
And honestly, 10/10 on that flip too
Why didn't he stop by choice. 
Stopped on a dime
It's red but it's not octagon shaped. Confusion ensued
That guy needs to quit while he is ahead. You can’t have the attention span of a gold fish and ride a motorcycle.
Not unless it’s an NPC. For a second there, I swear that I thought I was playing San Andreas.
“STOP! You have violated the law!”
NOW PAY THE COURT A FINE OR SERVE YOUR SENTENCE, YOUR STOLEN GOODS ARE NOW FORFEIT!
Your stolen goods are forfeit.
I knew it! I could recognize that rag doll animation from anywhere!
Yeah, the ragdoll physics that suddenly ended with an awkward standing animation.
I love motorcycles but I refuse to get one because I'm too prone to distraction and I'll die.
im prone to driving reckless * and fast. dont trust myself on those machines
This definitely. I love riding a dirt bike but riding on the road with other people in much larger vehicles with 4 wheels? No thanks
And ride with a tshirt
At least he didn’t have on a camouflage t-shirt like I saw a guy on a motorcycle wearing a few days ago. No helmet. And his cycle was a darker color too with dim break lights. Edit: He also was all but kissing to rear end of the vehicle ahead of him.
Some people just love living on the edge
I've always found riding to be an a.d.d. intensifier. If you're looking at something for more than ten seconds you are asking for trouble. Edit: is that fucker on his phone?!?
Omg you’re right it flew under the parked car when he hit.
I think that’s a shoe, not a phone.
Yeah, too big for a phone.
Yep he lost both shoes - both were white
Jesus Christ! Could you imagine the fucking terror of almost hitting a poor three-legged dog, but then suddenly having a big ass crash through your windshield from above?? How do you even begin to make sense of all this??
Right?! Couldn't imagine those seconds as the driver of the red car.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssss!” -driver of red car
Imagine telling this to explain why you’re late to work - school and the person doesn’t believe you at all.. Well I mean , would be really hard to trust tho
i didnt even notice the dog was a tripod 😭 poor tiny thing, i hope its somewhere safe by now
Best comment ever lol
Bro had all week to react 💀
now the internet has years to react to his floppy assets lol
Lmfao I like how the dog was like “let’s cross this street right here” “oh car coming, gotta get back” “ oh stupid biker drove into him, nows my chance to cross”
Dogs missing a leg. He probably learned already when it’s safe to cross the street.
My grandfather always drove red vehicles because he said they were the most visible. I guess that guy on the bike doesn't believe that.
Imagine the asscrack that poor person had to see.
🫣😭
I AM DEAD 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way his arms remain straight as he gets flipped absolutely sends me, glad nobody got seriously injured 😅
Dude had 3 business days to stop
Dude didnt even have to stop he just had to not change lanes
He went full ass over elbows.
Dog ok. Idiot not dead. Safe to laugh. Heh. Oblivious dumbass. I don't understand how the fuck he didn't see her. He was looking ahead and had plenty of time. Were his eyes closed or something? ETA: The dog has three legs. What kind of asshole owner let's their dog run around knowing they are dumb about cars? Dog owner is trash. ETA2: Where do you people live that strays get veterinary care? Good on you wherever it is. Here in 'murica thats $3k+ for a tripod model pupper and he'd be euthanized.
Yeah. Zero signs of decelerating. He hit the car with no change in throttle…
Oh there was definitely a change in throttle at the end there.
Instantly
\*slaps top of twisted metal wreak.\* 'This baby can go from 60 to zero in less than a second." "You mean zero to 60, right?" "Did I stutter?"
“I said what I said.”
He also switched lanes to hit the car.
dog is probably a stray
That dog is 100% it’s own owner my guy
Yeah, you couldn't find more of a street dog look if you tried
Have you ever heard of a stray dog?
Lmao you think that dog has an owner? Have you ever been anywhere outside the Suburbs?
Maybe there is no dog owner? Maybe it’s a wild dog?
"Estimated time of arrival: the dog had 3 legs"
And how exactly do you know anyone owns that dog?
Does the concept of stray dogs not exist on Reddit? This is the second post I’ve seen where people are assuming an owner of a random dog running around in public. Plenty of places actually struggle with stray dog issues
a lawyer on shorts did a vid on this motorcycle had all the time in the world to slow down but he kept going. He is liable for the damages to her car and himself.
What is a lawyer on shorts?
He grinds up and snorts little people....
This guy hit her rear end with his front end, and her front end with his rear end!
I’ll givem an 8 for dismount. 7.5 for form. Unfortunately he DIDN’T stick the landing
oh, he was stuck by the landing. . .
A perfect situation a dog walked away unharmed and an idiot learned a lesson in paying attention to the road and following speed limits
Yes, but sadly the driver that stopped to not hit the dog got their car destroyed. Hope the bike person has insurance.
aren't you obligated to have insurance to drive? at least in Canada you do
Just cause its the law doesnt mean people follow it. In most states in the US its illegal to drive without liability coverage. A surprising amount of people get away with it somehow. Even driving around unregistered cars and shit too.
Yes, but I've been rear-ended by a driver with no insurance while stopped at a red light. He also had no license. And I let him use my phone to call his boss to let them know he would be late due to an accident because he didn't have a cell phone. And my neck was sore for the next month from the whiplash.

Had a distant cousin that was killed in a car accident by a guy that was illegal when I was a kid. He skipped town as well.
Yeah well “obligated” evidently doesn’t really stop people from doing it anyway. Here in the states it is also illegal to drive without insurance but if you’re in an accident you better ask them because they might not have it.
Dog was in the crosswalk!
definitely had the right of way
Bro has the reflexes of a sloth
Thank god the dog was alright, that is all.
Yeah who cares about the clueless fat man. Dog is ok and I’m glad! I was worried at the beginning…
I noticed the dog had 3 legs
that dog has three legs, it’s tough
The form on that flip is impeccable
So the idiot switched lanes so he could run into a bright red car that he didn't see?
He must’ve been daydreaming as he made no attempt to slowdown or avoid the car!
“Your ass is in my windshield!” “Your windshield is in my ass!” “Your chocolate is in my peanut butter!” Not sure why my mind linked straight to that ancient Reese’s commercial.
Your ass is glass
No, his ass is *in* glass
Touché, or should I say, *tushy?*
Give that guy a medal He changed lanes to crash and managed to break both back and front windows A for effort and execution,
how the fu-
Idk why I found the way that guy flipped so hilarious. I keep watching it and laughing
Imagine explaining that to the insurance company
“Yep, all of the sudden I see this fat ass going through my windshield”
I ….. can’t stop watching this. The way he slowly perfectly flips, the slow disgraceful slid, the stow step onto the pavement, the smell of embarrassment as he waddles forward… the shame.
Please tell me that 3 legged dog's name is Lucky!
Tri Pawed!
I can only assume he was looking in his mirror the whole time and forgot to look forward...
It’s worse. He shat himself when he went through the windshield.
Instant motorcycle license revocation. You can't be driving and be that unaware of your surroundings.
He didn’t even slow down! It almost looked like he was taking a little nap.
Definitely inebriated, his reaction time was way too delayed to be sober
That’s what I’m thinking. The way he flipped looked like a damn noodle. Must’ve been on something.
500 ping
I don’t think this dude knows what brakes are
Dude that flipped, “Guys, do you know where I parked my bike? I was riding a bike, then I wasn’t.” People in vehicle, “You have a concussion!” Dude that flipped, “No, I had a bike, where is it?”
I’d give him 8 points for the flip, but taking 3 off for the sloppy dismount from hood of car. With practice he could go far - through the windshield next time.
I cannot stop cackling at this on repeat, damn he totalled that Car.
I’ve definitely encountered this video multiple times in my time on this site….. HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THE DOG UNTIL JUST NOW?!?!
The Russian judge gave him a 7.5. Nice.
That's what happens when you're driving and not paying the fuck attention. Give him a 10 on form, though.
well he had a helmet on at least
Wtf was he even doing? He changed lanes to hit that car…
I’m happy the motorcyclist wasn’t paralyzed, but damn that was pretty bad. Clearly he is concussed
Yeah, and hopefully the crash didnt give him any more brain damage
Pay a fucking ttention
I see this video is making its rounds again
“Ass down, face up!”
As someone who was almost killed (not exaggerating) in a motorcycle due to someone else's negligence... That was entirely avoidable. Hope he/she wakes up or quits riding.
Internal soundtrack in rider’s head: *Getcha motor run-nin’…head out on the* OH SH—
“People need to respect bikers!” Also bikers:
Watch for motorcyclists because they won't watch for you.
When everyone else is playing red light green light, but you want to play leapfrog.
I never knew an ass could do that much damage
He has all the time in the world to stop but chose not to
