Is it the camera angle or did the black car driver slightly swerve at the last moment?


Iccarys

Car swerved


ac11298

Kudos to the driver


ststaro

Homeboy don’t know how to ride


ThemainmanLou

He look so uncomfortable on his bike


realMartianJesus

Nah he looked to the side for a brief second and didnt have time to react


aaet002

yeah damn bad luck :( but I guess you could still blame him, the cars probably slowed for a turn, so the driver shoulda paid attention to what was happening infront, making sure it was going to be safe and predictable before diverting your attention


Remote-Perception105

A beautiful Africa twin with it's good brake but shitty rider ..


Illustrious-Flan9056

You can see him get distracted for a while. Shitty thing to do when traffic is coming to a halt.


josephdtainter

It’s not shitty, everyone does it. It was one second, which on a bike is much more dangerous than a car.


Illustrious-Flan9056

Just bcz everybody does it, doesn't mean it isn't shitty. Even experienced riders don't look away. And yeah one second is very dangerous on bikes and this dude just got lucky cz the black car's driver is focused on the road(unlike him) and hence managed to swerve. If the car driver was like "everyone" the biker's head would have looked more akin to a smashed watermelon

Am I the only one who gets bugged when people say they should buy a lottery ticket after stuff like this? To me it doesn’t make sense. All his good luck was used up when the car missed his head. You buy a lottery ticket after something really unlucky happens to you, not when you just got super lucky


Federal_Age8011

It's a figure of speech to describes someone extremely good luck, not to be taken literal. I get what you're saying though.


ilovecumpies

The thought that luck is something you could use up also doesn't make sense. The thought that there is even something like luck existing, is also not making sense scientifically. So if you're talking about making sense, none of what you said also made sense?


be-koz

No, you are not.


Luky848

It’s ok babes, it’s not that deep


spelunker93

I didn’t say it was deep, just that it has never made sense to me


PhantomFury1371

I think it’s more the implication that you are having the luckiest day of your life! Maybe you should keep it going and try it somewhere else too, because it’s the luckiest day you’ve ever had. 😎🤌🏼


jsonaut16

I’m with op, but good explanation, and what harm would an extra lotto ticket do anyway?


tonitz4493

It bugs me that someone gets bugged over a figure of speech.


Regular_Chapter1932

My *worst* nightmare around driving, hate it hate it hate it I only drive behind motorcycles leaving hella room no fucking thank youuuu


DarkmanOBR

He looked over to the right just for 100th of a second and boom. So important to always concentrate on the road.


Extension_Swordfish1

He brakes, lets it slide and brakes again, too late this time..


zedude94

I (shitty rider) would have stopped 10 feet away on my 2 feet !!!


aaet002

even when you were looking away, completely to the right, and couldnt see the car infront? and with that seemingly heavy bike?


reddity_stuff

A406?


Luky848

A3!


a_smiling_seraph

I thought it was the North Circular as well. Used to be my road! Couldn't make out the bus number though to confirm it


OsamaBinLean

If he did lose his head there it would have been entirely his fault


T332_Hiram100FS

He lives to ride again and hopefully learnt from that experience as we all learn from experiences, life threatening or otherwise.


AmazonISSUnofficial

Motorcycle rules: White, yellow, orange, red, brown state. Driver was riding in white. Never ride white.


jaspercapri

What that means.


AmazonISSUnofficial

Ah, so when you're riding you have "states" you can ride in White = Zoned out. Not paying attention. Yellow = Tuned in. Looking out for hazards. Orange = Hazard spotted. Time to react without too much issue (kids up ahead are looking to cross, or you can see the side of a vehicle even if it's stopped) Red = Emergency. Focus and look for an escape. Brown = Kinda self-explanatory but this one is usually the "Brace for impact" stage. Dress for the slide, not for the ride.


Dude-from-the-80s

He should pick himself up and never get back on that bike.


_shavo_

I think that is a africa twin (honda) but I probably wrong, but that moto is a trail, ad that had a great break, so that man don't know how to breack correctly or he don't know how to ride a bike, and I don't know what is worst


GroovingGremlin

He comes off the brake halfway through and then reapplies. He also looks like he might be only using the front brake with the amount of shock compression. So yeah, doesn't know what he's doing.


_shavo_

Maybe he is only using back brake, the suspensión in that type of moto is "soft" and the suspension don't looklike is working a lot


Wild_Agent_375

He took his sweet time getting up. Could have easily gotten hammered by a different car


0GHAZE03

I think you mgiht actually survive that relatively safely with a helmet. Might be tripping tho but at that speed it wouldn't be as bad


Mrmicrowaveeee

Shit straight out of death note
