I always physically look over my shoulder......I do the same when driving... to many blind spots

****.... ouch. Same here, I always look over my shoulder to check the blind spots....

Does anyone else have issues with embedded videos? When I hit play it's like the whitewash out. I can tell a video is playing, but can't see it clearly. When they're linked to youtube they work fine.

OUCH!!! Never make a lane change without checking mirrors and looking over the shoulder. Putting on the turn signal is no certainty that anyone sees you. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!

 

[stroguy]

Making a left turn from the third lane over...............? That will work against you most of the time. Darn big yellow trucks. Why can't they make them more visible. Hope the rider was ok.

 

[strykenshane]

Dam that's scarey, I too look over my shoulder

That had nothing to do with not using your mirrors or blind spots. That had to do with one plan STUPID rider, who just doesn't know how to ride.

I guess Asians inability to drive isn't just limited to four wheels

Hope he's all right. Cannot for the life of me figure out why he would pull that maneuver. He was on a highway and had to know there would be cars in the other lanes especially the leftmost passing one... Again hope he is all right.

Great thing about forums is we can discuss and disagree. The theory (general speaking) also applies to the capacity (physical and mental) and ability to adapt to survive. NOT checking checking your mirrors and quickly darting across two lanes of traffic regardless of what you are operating is recipe for injury and possible death. Riding a motorcycle or similar bike on a highway with cars and trucks that weigh many time more only amplifies the need for higher situational awareness, caution and skill in order to survive. Somehow this rider has made it that long and did not apply those mental skills and awareness. IMHO of course. That being said I am glad that according to the video the rider was able to get up and survive. It's probably a guess (at least hope) he will learn and adapt by checking his mirrors or look over his shoulder when he finally recovers. If not.... Darwin's rule will apply.

After seeing that helmet roll down the road...............my guess is he/she wont have to look over the sholder

 

[Stryker Lunatic]

that is asinine... that dude just drifting over like he has the open road to himself
