Poor guy never had a chance, killed on impact.

Warning: Link contains disturbing video of the accident from the motorcyclist's perspective.





Lesson here:

Guys on bikes, slow down. Guys in cars, pay closer attention.

Shouldn't that say warning you're about to watch a person die a brutal death?

The dude was doing 90. No way that car could've reacted fast enough with him travelling that fast. No matter how close he was paying attention.

I agree it was stupid to be going that fast on that road, or any road for that matter.

Did you know realize the video was of an accident where the dude died? You even quoted where I posted that the dude was killed.

He wasn't on a high horse. He didn't blame the car solely for the crash. Calm down.

Everyone was driving on the wrong side of the road. That's a recipe for disaster.

Truth.

But, I don't see where the car driver could have done anything. The car driver shouldn't have even been mentioned in this case (but they are at fault in many car/motorcycle accidents). Someone coming at you at 97mph is almost impossible to react to.

In April this year, Benjamin Austin, the driver of the Renault car that struck Mr Holmes, pleaded guilty to causing a death by careless driving.


He was subsequently ordered to perform 130 hours of unpaid work. His driving licence was also suspended for 18 months.

The court heard Austin admitted he had not seen Mr Holmes before making the turn.

In passing sentence, Judge Veits said no one had suggested Austin had been driving dangerously, but he had made a mistake that 'sadly' too many other drivers also make, of 'simply' not seeing the motorcycle.


Seems a bit excessive considering the speed of the bike and even the judge admitting that it was an accident and not dangerous driving.

I didn't read the whole article, but I remember the LiveLeak description noting that the car was in the wrong. Can someone explain how?

Then get off your high horse. This death is darwinism. It wasn't caused by a driver not noticing a motorcycle. It was another fig biker thinking he's above the law.

You're quite the emotional poster.

It was actually two wrongs in this situation. The driver turned in front of the bike but the bike was going far too fast. There's a lesson here that both guys on motorcycles and car need to take from this.
