What was he supposed to do? What all day. He waited until he has the right a way and went. The car blew right through the stop.I would say that if he was watching he could have avoided that. MCs are most vulnerable at any intersection....intersection in a city; much more so.
This is what happens when you pay little attention to your surroundings at a time when it is critical to do so.
I certainly would not wait 'all day'. But I can ( almost ) guarantee you that motorcyclist will wait 'just a little longer' before lunging through the next intersection. ( On his next bike. )What was he supposed to do? What all day. He waited until he has the right a way and went. The car blew right through the stop.
If I'm not mistaken today is Friday. :razz:Monday morning quarter backs.
Option 1. Wait alllll day - Option 2. Not get Plowed by a car & dam near killed. Hmmmm lets think about this....Hmmmmm. Yea ill go with Op. 2 All the right of way and or laws wont do you any good while their scraping your intestines off the road. Better to loose 5 minutes of your life than your life in 5 minutes.

Just childish.If I'm not mistaken today is Friday. :razz:
And you are 'mistaken' also. Quarter back is one word; quarterback. :mrgreen:
Whatever happened before the light turned green is irrelevant. Watch the video again.Hey, he was looking back & forth for so long, I almost stopped watching before the crash. Attention didn't seem to be the problem. Trusting the car driver was attentive might have been a mistake. Let's not play high & mighty though, we have all been too close for comfort.
Light turned green, he didn't check traffic, hit the throttle to wheelie and got creamed by the car that ran the light. He was in the right, despite the wheelie, but he still got hit.Whatever happened before the light turned green is irrelevant. Watch the video again.
That's what I saw too old dad. The "didn't check traffic" being a key contributor to the accident, along with the guy that blew the light obviously. The "was in the right" argument is meaningless if you are dead.Light turned green, he didn't check traffic, hit the throttle to wheelie and got creamed by the car that ran the light.
