Accident In Realtime

that would be funny

Guy on the bike is passing with the double yellow line,
auto is taking the left indicated by the arrow.
Bike is completely at fault.

In Italy the double line are white but I think that the meaning is the same.

I am a biker and have been for almost 30 years. I hate too see stupid accidents like this. The SUV is simply following the road. The road turns to the left. If you notice the side road that goes straight there is a stop sign. The curve sign simply tells drivers the change in direction of the road ahead so the drivers should not be surprised and are made aware. The Biker was STUPID!!! He was going 60 MPH...Passed on a double yellow....and to top it off he did it on a 90 degree left bend in the road. I honestly think the first bike was not paying attention to the road either and never seen the curve sign. By the time he passed at the speed he was going he didn't really have much time to make the turn anyways, especially when he was surprised to see it. This is way bikers get a bad rap.

BIKERS FAULT!!

bikers fault

The road does curve to the left, and the car is just following the road. You can see the biker is trying to get to a side road because you can see the back of the stop sign coming off of that road. Clearly the biker was unfamiliar with the road, and was just trying to keep up with his partner.

no signal

Fineeeeeeeeee

svu driver didnt even look or use turn signal and if your gona drive something that big and deadly u should fukin look 2 c watz bhind u. if 1 biker passed the next 1 was sure 2 follow and he doesnt even look the biker was alrdy in the other lane before he started the turn fukin stupid drivers dont even look. but the biker was at fault but serz the suv driver should not have a fukin licence

Im a biker and we all know you should never cross a solid line whatever color it is is your country but when the lines are put down to stop overtaking a greater safty margine is given because cars take longer to overtake so from time to time ,me included ,will cross the line.Here,s the BUT the biker that crashed was following his mate he obviously didnt know the road and yes i know he missed the bend sign but if his mate hadnt overtaken in the first place the crasher wouldnt have followed, bottom line.....change your mate mate.

Why nobish bikers get killed stupid retards.

I've read nearly every comment and watched the vid several times. #1 The SUV is following the curve in the road (curve roadsign visible) no turn signal just brake. #2 Both cycles passed illegally. #3 The cycles are driving wildly and should have their license suspended. #4 they will ruin it for safe riders.

iwould almost beleive this was setup,how may echit biker would always have camera.

DAM!!!!!!!!!!!

all bikers should be crushed by 18 wheelers, just for buying bikes, never mind riding them!

Look at the clip closely. If you can go to full screen mode. Use the pause.

The no passing zone is the key here. Also the Road sign for the curve is about 100 to 150 feet from the curve. Also notice that first rider just made it too. That one accelerated to get by the van prior to the curve. Leave the second rider no room to pass.
Van driver is nt required to use the turn signal if staying on the main road. Which the van driver did.

So there was actually not enough room for the second rider to pass and ended up in the accident.

Since it is a residential area. teh speed woudl be about 30 to 45 MPH. Cant tell if it is MPH or KPH on the bike speedo. Van driver is at no fault. By the time the first rider got around the second rider was already going for the pass. This leaves very little time for the van driver to even react. The rider took the risk and paid for it.

Pay close attention to the distance prior to the curve and the accident. Sun light is reflecting off the tail lights of the van. but on the top side of the van. dont forget the riders head is above the camera as well. so the reflection coudl be differant. and if someone was braking in front me i woudl slow down as well. It woudl mean they are going around the curve. I also dont like it when drivers dont use the turn signals. but there s nothing we can do about that.

You CANNOT pass a nother car going over a double yellow line. both bikers are at falt.

Look more carefully. The car driver DOES signal about his/her intentions to turn left.

Drive, ride, sail, flew, (as in commercial airlines) walked or even stood in lines. As though there were other inhabitants on this planet. We just might be able to survive a few more years. What do you think?

And everyone who watched this video will be a lesson to everyone...

Never overtake...
- in a yellow line
- in a curve road/street

Be alert...
- if others will turn left or right by looking at the yellow backlight
- on intersections

* If you know more things about driving safely that is not at my list (related to this video), please post it ^_^

i'll say only this--- a yellow line is a yellow line is a yellow line. double the line and all that goes double and more. the only thing i'd regret about shooting the bastard(s) was the loss of lead. i'd rather they just agreed to head-on into each other at the same speeds they demonstrated there.

its obvious that the rider phu cked up, no ifs or buts

para que todos vejam como se faz

it was certain their inention was to film while riding at high speed putting other road users at risk glad it happened hope he was hurt and the car not too badly damaged

I cant tell if the van used the turn sig. Doesnt matter anyway the main road turned left. The first bike went straight, so we figure that the second one was going to go straight also??? So the bike use bad, or no judgement. Why would you pass on the left on a curve to go straight? DAMN!! I dont like to argue with anyone on here, it's like arguing against a brick wall, but anyone who says the van driver holds any responsibility in this is wrong in my opnion. Sure hind sight is 20/20, but who knows what the van driver was thinking, radio on..kids yelling..maybe they didnt even know the bike was behind them. I dont usually look in my mirror before I turn left on a curve, and I doubt anyone else does either. on a narrow road in a residential area, you look in front. I bet a paycheck the police report put the blame 100% on the biker. I ride a bike too but not with people like this guy.

I was wrong ,yes he was going straight while road was going to the left...so that is why there was no turn signal.
BIker was 100% percent wrong

Darn it! I do not like to be mistaken!!!

Sure these are two poor drivers but when it comes right down to liability, the bike rider is in the wrong. Dr.Jomo nailed it, plus he was speeding; Accelerated to 60 in a residential zone. This is too fast for mph or kph (can't make out which one on the speedometer).

The fact that the bike rider had a camera mounted on the his bike, kinda goes to show his frame of mind too. Judging from his disregard for the traffic laws, he wasn't making a video to cataloque safe driving techniques.

Interesting Clip even it is an accident

the motorcyclist shoudln't have been overtaking there, the car should have been aware of where the motorcyclist is and not driven into their path. i also don't know if the car or the bike indicated.

I hate to see this. I ride a bike too, but he's passing with a double yellow line...blind curve comming and the car had their turn signal on !!! Duh !!! I hope he wasnt hurt too bad and grows up.

the car indicating after his mate had over taken him ........

I wonder if that biker will feel so invincible in the future...

PLEASE DONT READ THIS!!!!U WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF UR LIFE. 2MORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF UR LIFE.HOWEVER IF U DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO ATLEAST 3 VIDEOS U WILL DIE IN 2 DAYS.NOW UV STARTED READIN THIS SO DONT STOP NOW!THIS IS SOOO SCARY.SEND THIS TO ATLEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSSHES NAMEWILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SOO SCARY CUZ IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!

The car was not turning or changing lanes, it was going around a sharp bend so there was no need to indicate. The biker shouldn't have attempted to over take on unbroken lines, let alone at a sharp bend.

The SUV driver was probably unaware of the biker, and should have checked mirrors and blindspots after seeing the first biker pass. You can also see the suv go over the line a bit just before it hits the bike.

I assume that the biker had not been on this road, and was just following his mate. He probably thought that the road was straight ahead, and missed the turn sign.

I think the biker infront played a big role in the accident. Hope the one following him was ok...

Dont turn without a signal. Dont over take at a juction/turn STUPID PEOPLES!

biker passing with the double line... the car driver didnt give left signal...

is the driver blind or something that basted

Driver didn't indicate his intentions which in my eyes is driving without due care and attention, regardless whether there's a sign or not. The biker is in the wrong by overtaking in a no-take zone yes but take into account where on the pole the sign is and where the rider was looking. He's thinking if the road ahead is clear which it was. If thee driver of the truck had indicated the biker would've seen it and backed off. We live and learn :)

whitout any warning asshole

they were both in the wrong
the motorcyclist shoudln't have been overtaking there, the car should have been aware of where the motorcyclist is and not driven into their path. i also don't know if the car or the bike indicated.

I agree with this comment above...
If I was driving that car I WOULD NOTICE 2 bikes zipping behind me.That is the fact, second thinking would be, well if the first one has zip along me where is the second one.And than I would GIVE MY TURN SIGNAL turn my HEAD AND NECK all together to CHECK my Blind Spot (my driving istructor told me about this when making left turn, just in case I have a cyclist in my blind spot just like in this case)

I know that guy on a motocycle is an IDIOT too,and passing in a no passing zone is stupid, but most likely he could AVOID colision vith a car if these things were done on the behalf of the driver.Also he was accelerating to a 90mph...so he wasn not thinking ahead.

In past I managed to avoid colision simply by thinking AHEAD, just assume that all drivers were idiots and expect unexpected and that is called deffensive driving.
That is why I am saying that DRIVER OF THE CAR could AVOID this if he did think ahead or better say behind.
I just wish to know how old was a driver of the car?
And was he wearing glasses?(people wth glasses have a bad peripheral vision).no offence but 4 more years and I would need a glasses too.

This is 50-50 liability car just pressed the BRAKE there was no turn signal at all.

I do not like motocyclist but, I HATE PEOPLE THAT DOES NOT GIVE A F***IN TURN SIGNAL!!!!
They were both selfish and ignorant and resposible for the accident.

Americans dont show turns thats the problem! Biker couldn;t predict that guy make a right turn!

the auto driver is obviously not paying attention to his/her mirrors....

How could he/she not have heard the bikes accelerating?

2 bikes in the rear view mirror, 1 passes you two seconds before you are about to take a left turn. How about taking one more look in the mirrors before turning?

But still... on paper it's the bikers fault entirely
