This is something!

Post by Chuey »

A left turner is hit by a motorcyclist who ends up on his feet. Notice the first car just drifts past him and seems to pay no notice but the camera car stops.

After the video, among the choices on the screen, you should see something about the "Luckiest Truck Driver Ever". That is about fifteen seconds but is worthy of the overused "Amazing!".

I noticed two things on the motorcyclist video:

1. All the car driver's fault: typical car making left-hand turn in front of motorcycle.

2. The motorcycle didn't even slow down. He was obviously not paying any attention to what was happening in the intersection and was certainly not assuming that the car driver would try to kill him . . . as of course, they all do.

Major Softie, did you watch the one about the truck crash? It's the most outrageous thing of its kind I've seen. And to think that it was caught on film!

Almost forgot who I was talking to. Not caught on film. "Recorded", right?

It is so cool that it is on video. Teh difference between trying to explain what had happened to you and being able to show them the video would be night and day -- or greater than that.

Handy to show the insurance company. They have some horrendous crashes in Russia. Do they have licenses there?

They must have licenses there. They have big government.

That was a reference to one of my pet peeve sayings that's bandied about mindlessly by right leaning folks here.
