Probably Shouldn't Brake-check on a bike

guy looks at his car first? maybe I'm too nice, but I'd be checking on the condition of the rider, regardless of circumstance!

[pontifex]

let me guess. Russia?

[KnuckleBallz]

Definitely Russia....at least he was ATGATT though

[jwm2k3]

I think all cars in Russia have dashcams...seems like so many videos from Russia.

...why? You have a motorcycle with superior acceleration, if not top speed as well...why not just disappear into the sunset?

Insurance fraud is huge there. Dashcams help prevent it.

[tsorfas]

LOL! wtf did the guy expect? the car has shitty brakes and weight 1.5 tons. legit LOL

[ZX-12R]

He probably won't attempt that stunt again.

It's standard OEM equipment on all cars sold there. Or it seems like it

It almost like he almost made it too before he went plop.

I do not think the rider brake checked. I think the driver accelerated and rammed the motorcycle.

you can see the brake light on and the tail going up

[golden chicken]

Hard to tell, since the guy's brake light is really dim.

[breakdirt916]

in soviet russia, brake...checks...you?

I also thought he was going to save it...did he panic throttle before the low side?

[SwiftTone]

You can see his front end dive. He braked

[nhbubba]

I don't see any brake lights. His front end looks like it dove because he let off the throttle. .. Driver rammed him.

[Falko]

The rate of acceleration was too quick for the car to achieve, me thinks, definitely a brake check. Idiota....

[SwiftTone]

I don't think the front end can dive like that if he only let off the throttle. Also I can see his brake lights(barely). Shitting LED spec brake lights that is.

2 morons... sharing the same road...

[Trouble]

As long as we are picking this apart...

Also I can see his brake lights(barely). Shitting LED spec brake lights that is.

I agree. I think I see brake lights at 0:11 and then they go off just before the car hits him. I think it was a brake check. Well, attempted one. Brilliant. Especially when he'd already had a close call with the front bumper of the car.

I also thought he was going to save it...did he panic throttle before the low side?

I'd call that a high side. He may have been on the gas just before the car hit him but I doubt it was enough to spin the tire. The rear wheel didn't look too healthy when it left the front bumper of the car. It looks skewed from the rest of the bike, especially when the bike tips over. I don't think he had a chance.

I'm impressed with how quickly the oncoming truckers stopped to check on the rider. They were probably on scene before the driver of the car.

The guy driving the car looks at his car first what a toolbag.

[tsorfas]

I don't think he lost it because of throttle it kinda seems the rear wheel got fucked from the hot. Maybe blown tire?

[KnuckleBallz]

There's definitely more to it than what we're seeing....I'm guessing the driver did something earlier to antagonize him. There's just not much you can do for "payback" on a bike unless you've got a handful of pennies/ball bearings/etc to throw over your shoulder.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

The guy on the bike just came back from getting Skittles. jeeez.
