Close Call With A Jeep

[redrr04]

I always like when they cut you off and if you have to stop at a light they normally don't even pull next to you because they know they just about killed you!

[ffjsb]

It wasn't that close but you reacted well except you should've hit your horn. Kinda hard to tell how fast you were going, looks like about 35?

[Hannoi]

Why does nobody ever looks over his/her shoulder before changing lanes. You get taught that in driving school.

[SpeedyCheeze]

you have to be careful with the horn, because some people will panic stop and take you out.

[lilrara11804]

please tell me you turned around and said SOMETHING... insane... i know bikes are smaller than cars, but they are NOT invisible. if they would just fucking LOOK, they'd see us.

"This type of thing is just a typical day in the life of a motorcycle rider. :/"

thats exactly how it is... I have had like million situations similar to that

[MrDevenob]

thats why i ride fast all the time and pass cars as often as possible to minimize time spent around cagers

[lilrara11804]

@MrDevenob LOL.. dude that makes no sense at ALL, LOL... more speed = less reaction time, less time for them to see you, longer and more squirrely braking and more pain in the end. You don't drive MORE aggressively, you drive MORE defensively...

[MrDevenob]

@lilrara11804 naaaa faster

Florida has some of the worst drivers

75% of the US cars that do crazy stuff up here in Canada is from Florida and rest is from NY

There are some situations where accelerating is the best way to avoid a collision, which is why its a good idea to be in a gear that will allow you to accelerate at any given time.

You could have braked there, but that would have put you between the jeep and any other vehicle that was behind you, who may not have been able to brake in time or notice that you had braked.

nice save 

[thesIeepywiIIow]

It still seems safe to say that bikers tend to pay the closest attention to the road. So many wrecks avoided because you guys understand the rules. I feel like I need a bike. Especially living in texas where anything is 10 miles away.

[strictlyformyninja]

@thesIeepywiIIow Absolutely correct. Most smart riders know how to predict what others may do on the road. We have to in order to stay safe and avoid motorist who are not paying attention. I am also a from Texas. Houston to be exact. So yea, I know how everything is far away there lol.

[MrJarastafara]

great reaction and acceleration

[tanoAE86]

fuck that was close. He didnt even put turn signals on. What a dickhead and Im suprised you didnt attempt to educate them. i hear side mirrors arent cheap to replace on jeeps.....

[gabigowriel]

unusual reaction

:-) other bikers brake in those conditions(on the premises he MIGHT ACTUALLY TURN , wich is worse...), but you hit on the gas! nice!

:-)

[Shadow04HA]

good save

[Johncarson9113]

Wow that was close!!! If you had a horn I would have honked like a crazy man lol. By the way this looks familiar, is this in Ft. Lauderdale or South beach?

[strictlyformyninja]

@Johncarson9113 Thanks for the comment! And you are correct, this was in Ft. Lauderdale.

[Johncarson9113]

@strictlyformyninja I had a feeling it was, the house on the right at 0:01 gave it away. I'm always admiring it every time I go there.

[Pyruss]

would have gotten off the bike and let her know how i felt

[bane762]

@Pyruss ...uhh, yup. Nicely of course...
