Actually, if you watch this motorcycle point of view video, you’ll see that there were actually two motorcyclists who were stopped, who both would’ve been killed or seriously injured if the pickup would’ve been just slightly on the right-hand side of the road.
This accident makes one wonder how it could’ve happened. After all, it’s a clear day and a straight road. Sure traffic had stopped, but what was the driver of the pickup truck doing that seem to cause them to be totally distracted? Just a guess on my part, but I would say that the high probability that the driver was either talking on their cell or texting.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many paint jobs of skulls, crossbones and skeletons on motorcycles? Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s because if you’re driving at highway speeds and get into an accident, your chance of walking away is not that great! Also, as this video shows just being stopped on your motorcycle in traffic or for that matter at a red light, what might be a fender-bender in a car, could very well end up being a funeral for you!
Wow, stopped traffic and some jerk on a cell could have killed you you on the spot! I just wonder how many accidents involving motorcycles are due to the negligence and non-attention of the car or truck driver?
