It's NOT a "RAW VIDEO" if you didnt get it on camera.

It's never the biker's fault. Always the cager.

Fact, look it up.

Or something.

This shit almost happened to me yesterday! I was going about 50mph on my ninja 2012 250r, when some ahole decided he wasnt going to stop and pulled out infront of me (exiting a housing community). Well when he notice me he slammed on the brakes in the lane i was headed down. I pressed on my brakes, swerving out of the way and coming within inches of t-boning him. I went into a skid but regained control once i let off the brakes. Be safe guys, you cant control the other aholes out there!

If you drive in country, you got to watch for deer or animals. I bought a new bike and now I regret my decision.

[MrChutzpah2002]

Bikers, please not there are some sick people who hate us. I have had twice some car driver deliberately come in my lane opposite. Many times get cut off by people. When you approach intersection slow down, even if green. Look out for people entering roads constantly from gas stations, neighborhoods anything. Don't stay next to a car.The worst is about your back, because even that we have to watch out for, cause some scum didn't stop. Bike riding is extremely dangerous. 

[MrChutzpah2002]

If all gun owners go out and start shooting over houses and unintentionally kill people then what. Operating a car is like carrying around a loaded gun. You can kill people, hence caution. Anytime someone gets hurt due to some reckless or drunk driver, impose a mandatory w/o parole 15 yr sentence, if you kill someone impose a 20 yr sentence. Otherwise why would people care to not run lights. If you cannot respect others while on road, don't drive. Why should anyone live in fear or drunks/reckles

[MrChutzpah2002]

This is not about cars v/s bikes!! All bike riders are car drivers. Accidents are caused by lousy drivers, always. These lousy car drivers can hurt both cars and bikes, and in case of bikes they are hurt most. Since riders have no protection. Unless tough sentences are passed for people who drive reckless and kill, it won't stop. Whether intentional or unintentional, if you run a red light, not stop at stop sign, you endanger others. If you operate cars, you are responsible for caution.
