It’s not meant to be funny. It’s highlighting the fact that no matter how much technology you are using it can’t replace common sense. Hence the rider didn’t look to the right before pulling off. I thought it was pretty obvious. Many believe that this video is a total fake just to get views and to try to go viral.
Did anyone notice near the end of the video where the guy with the black curly hair walked towards the woman and the downed cyclist? Notice on the white of the truck by the guys head, there’s a shifting black orb. Bad video editing? I think that truck was CGI, along with the motorcyclist. The motorcycle also appears to be overly blurred. He wasn’t going fast enough for that. Also, the shattered glass from the tail light mysteriously disappears after it hit the ground. After Effects?

No matter how safe you think you are motorbikes are still in several accidents everyday. It was made to promote the dangers and offer motorcycle riders the chance to go on a free course to see how they ride and give them some tips on what they can improve and also show them reviews on motorbikes and recommended biker gear so yes the video is ‘fake’ but it’s only promoting the dangers of motorcycle riding.”
The point of the video is to show that no matter how safe you think you are, you should always be as careful as possible. Yea, it’s just a reminder that being safe starts with the rider, not the gadgets! Look at the lady’s expression at 1:18. Doesn’t look like real distress to me!
