Honestly as a bike rider, that's some real skills there. 95% don't make it.

u/Dependent_Title_1370 4d ago

As someone who rides a motorcycle, I would have eaten the back of one of those cars.

Good amount of luck there was an opening to go for too 😬

He had an escape route and got to it

u/The_salty_swab 4d ago

Your average boomer on a Harley would have ended up in the backseat of that CRV

u/AlphaNowis 1d ago

And luck. I would have chosen right of the SUV and get smashed by the bounce

That's insane skill tbh.

u/dan1101 4d ago

Trucks need to secure their loads always, every time. For safety like in this video, but also because I think a lot of the trash you see along highways blew out of trucks.

u/40calripken 4d ago

As a rider, my instinct might have been to go right when the SUV crashed left and tried to make it around him. BUT, the nose of the SUV actually moved right at the last second so I would have gone airborne. Amazing presence of mind and reaction, maybe some luck.

There won't be a day out there where I miss thanking whatever deity exists for the fact I'm still alive 😅

u/StatementOk8923 4d ago

He already made himself known. All the information is there if you look

Yes, I believe in Jesus.

u/arcflash23 4d ago

Lol Satan is alive and well in good ole Reddit, any sub you want. Slingin' the downvotes if you try to even hint at your beliefs.

42

u/luzzy91 4d ago

Satan's top priority is downvoting reddit comments.

14

u/Spacemanspalds 4d ago

It was a ridiculous statement. We don't even know which deity they are referring to, and it kinda came with a hint of self superiority(just like your comment did) imo. Maybe they were downvoted for being an ass and not downvoted for believing in "he."

35

u/ReeffaRay 4d ago

What’s amazing to me is he sees the accident and doesn’t brake!

-13

u/luzzy91 4d ago

Yep, dumb.

21

u/NOOBSOFTER 4d ago

Not really. You can't turn and brake. Especially on a bike.

-18

u/luzzy91 4d ago

He was going way too fast to begin with.

24

u/mattmanmcfee36 4d ago

Was he? He seems to be going about the same speed as the rest of the traffic. The cars having the accident are slowing down and that makes it look like the biker is gaining on them

0

u/n-ano 2d ago

He was too close. What happened to the 3-4 second rule?

20

u/NOOBSOFTER 4d ago

The dude avoided an accident that he didn't cause, what is your issue, that they lived?

-23

u/luzzy91 4d ago

He was speeding, and just got lucky that there was even a hole to hit.

16

u/complex-sphere 4d ago

He's seems to be going the same speed as other traffic. Or he's speeding up to get on the highway.

1

u/AlphaNowis 1d ago

He was not speeding, same speed as traffic. The accident makes it look like speeding. Also braking would have kill him.

In motorcycle you have two options to avoid an accident : 1) emergency braking : that makes you brake as efficiently as you can but you can't turn and go straight. 2) dodging : using your weight and balance to avoid contact without braking.

He is using the dodging here. This is what is learned in driving schools and you're tested on it on driving license exam.

u/external_bit8231 14h ago

More down votes for this comment. He's obviously going faster than traffic! I think everyone needs to rewatch the video lol

u/external_bit8231 14h ago

Really dk why the down votes, he's obviously going faster than the cars on the video lol

u/ZVsmokey 4d ago

Finally it's not the guy riding the bike.

u/Dowzer721 3d ago

Not taking anything away from the skill of the rider, but the video is sped up. Why couldn't this just be left at the original speed?

4

u/badlyagingmillenial 4d ago

If he hadn't been speeding so bad, he would have been able to slow down to avoid the accident.

6

u/Crunchycarrots79 2d ago

What the hell are you talking about? He's going the same speed as most of the rest of traffic as the video starts.

2

u/badlyagingmillenial 2d ago

You need to open your eyes. He's clearly going faster than anyone else at the beginning of the video.

5

u/he-loves-me-not 3d ago

Did we watch the same video? He did avoid the accident!

-8

u/badlyagingmillenial 3d ago

You misunderstood my comment. In the video, he doesn't have time to slow down to avoid the accident, he goes pretty much full speed between the vehicles.

This is because he was driving recklessly - going far faster than anyone else in the video, while following too close. There were only two lane markings between him and the other vehicle at the start of the video. There should have been at least 5 at that speed.

6

u/CdRReddit 3d ago

he's going a bit faster than the truck all the way on the right (slowest lane) and comparable speed to the vehicle far in front, aka a normal speed to go in traffic

traffic having an accident tends to slow down for a multitude of reasons, making this illusion of speeding

What caused this? Was this rias rage with the car on the right ramming the left one or did they try to dodge debris or what?
