Even in the beginning, all I could think was: "please don't try to overtake that truck, please just don't".

Literal nightmare fuel.

NSFL

Didn’t know for sure if Lemmy had a flag for that, but if the platform does, yes, NSFL

[–] zeppo 3 points 1 year ago

I don’t think Lemmy does, but if it did, this surely qualifies! It’s horrible!

You can add a [NSFL] to the title.

Win stupid prizes...

No gloves. No kevlar. Wearing shorts. Guaranteed those were just regular fucking walking shoes. This guy shouldn't have a license for pulling that dumb shit, and should be banned from driving for the rest of his life. He's a danger to everyone around him.

This is the stuff of nightmares!

Well that's one slab of flesh he won't be able to donate in the near future.

Damn, that must have hurt.

Overtaking in that situation was dumb as fuck. But I don't know if the driver of the car was just an idiot or did it on purpose. Pause the video before the impact, the car had about half a meter of extra space they could have used to avoid the accident.

[–] psycho_driver 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The car was in their own lane driving the way they were supposed to be driving. Now they probably have a long bloody dent filled with kibbles on the side of their car.

[+] [email protected] -8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but by law everyone has to try and avoid accidents. The car could have easily moved over a tiny bit (while still staying inside the lines!) and fully avoided this.

Of course the biker is at fault, but the accident was avoidable.

You are still assuming the car driver could see the bike.

[+] [email protected] -14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you can't see a bike coming at you in your own lane, you shouldn't be behind the wheel..

[–] newthrowaway20 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I take it you've never had somebody jump out in front of you while driving. Come up with every reason to think that it's the driver's fault, but the car is doing what they're supposed to be doing. All it takes is a split second for someone to make a stupid decision like this. If you're going to rely on the car to see you, you're in for a world of hurt like this guy. Don't ever assume people can see you just because you think they should.

Bikes can be hard to see, it's possible the car driver didn't register what was happening till it was too late
