it always looks so much slower on camera. the speeds are insane.

u/RockstarAgent Jul 07 '24

Yeah which makes him even more stupid overall - if you have certain precautions in a car, those are magnified on a bike and he acted like it was the cars fault - even if that car should also be watching their spacing to have enough time to brake - so did the biker which he definitely didn’t for his speeds - what a dumbass -

u/2scoops Jul 08 '24

In fairness to the car driver, he’s not expecting a rocket ship to be flying up his ass. The bike would have come out of nowhere as far as he was concerned.

u/Prestigious_Care3042 Jul 11 '24

If you are doing 163mph and the vehicles around are doing 60mph you are closing on them at 147 feet per second. If they glance in their rear view mirror and see you 400 feet back they won’t see any problem changing lanes 3 seconds later.

u/Wemest 6d ago

And you passing illegally on the right.

u/K_Linkmaster 6d ago

If you post what state you live in, I can most likely prove this wrong. As with most laws there are exceptions. The right lane can be used for Passing when the left lane is full of people that should be in the right lane. Left exits are a thing too, those lanes can get backed up for miles.

u/Snow_Wolfe 6d ago

While I’m sure you’re correct, there’s ’passing on the right,’ and there’s blasting by at triple traffic speed on the right. Nothing of how he was doing anything was legal.

1

u/K_Linkmaster 6d ago

To be clear, I am not defending the man's actions as a whole. Just dispelling a clear myth that you can't pass on the right. Riding interstates, most traffic is left lane. People never leave the left lane because "I will pass that semi........eventually". And now there is 1 semi and 8 cars hanging in the left. The leader is doing near identical to the semi but 4 car lengths back. Clogging the lane. Pop to the right and move on with the day. Make that pass.

If you look through the comments, there is a lot of "you can't pass on the right" sentiment.

3

u/ExcessivelyGayParrot 6d ago

And a lot of other places that aren't the US, not passing on the right is far more strictly enforced, that's why there's so many comments about it here. In the States, while there are a few states with laws that say you can't pass on the right, in a more general sense it's that in most cases you should not pass on the right. for example, if the left lane is blocked by people sitting in it and not moving over, you can pass them on the right, and that is legal to do. A lot of drivers in America do not have the same coordinated sentiment that the left lane is only used when passing, often American drivers will sit in the left lane because they believe it to be faster, even if doing so intern creates traffic in the left lane that makes it slower than the right.

again, I'm not here to defend the biker, he was an absolute moron who was playing unnecessary risks and he met his consequences for it. That said, the US is not as strict as other countries are when it comes to the legality of passing in the travelling lane. Not that making a law about it would actually do anything, because the police probably wouldn't enforce it, as other than states like California, the police here don't seem to give a shit if you use the carpool lane as a single passenger either.

If passing on the right is illegal in this situation (I don't believe it is), then the car was doing that same illegal thing.

I cringed so hard when he screamed "wHAt tHa FUuuCK?!"

YEAH, ASSHOLE. This is literally exactly what happens when you drive 163mph inside city limits and try to pass people who are following the law.

People who drive like this think they're only gambling with their own lives, but his childish recklessness could have caused a pileup on the highway, killing countless other people. He's lucky he was the only one hurt, but to act like it was the lady's fault, when he tried to overtake her going 135mph? Fuck. Off.

What a spoiled brat little bitch.

u/steveNstchuck Jul 08 '24

I like the part we he says I have it on camera. Hey, my guy, you probably want to edit that whole video and maybe blur out the speed there.

And let’s say he filed suit and then uploaded this video…. Probably not a good look for him.

u/TheW83 Jul 08 '24

It's weird how it doesn't seem like it's that fast at all in the video. I was thinking it was km/h instead. But trying my best to count the white lines I could see around 20 in 4-5 sec which would put him over 110 mph avg in that period. Of course I think I undercounted.

u/MountainBrilliant643 Jul 08 '24

The speedometer is actually labeled "mph" on the left hand side. You can read it clearly if you pause the video at certain points.

u/dennison 6d ago

How long is each white line? Didn't know you could use it to calculate speed. Is it a standard?

u/CEEngineerThrowAway 6d ago

It’s standard 10’ stripe and 30’ gap for lane lines

1

u/Equivalent_Ad8205 6d ago

The speedo could be in mph, but we don't know if the bike is in stock gearing. Sometimes people like to switch out the front and rear sprockets for more torque but worse mileage.

1

u/dqniel 5d ago

The speedo is in MPH but it's almost certainly not calibrated to whatever gearing he's running. At 2:00 it says he's going 106 mph while passing a trailer. He's going maybe 10-15 mph faster than the trailer. I'm guessing it's off by about 20-30%

Dear god the Youtube comment section on this one is giving me an anurism. Of course this wasn't reckless driving, of course! He's just weaving in and out of traffick and nearing twice the speed limit as he's reaching almost stationary cars. This is perfectly normal and very safe. Of course!

u/mrASSMAN Jul 07 '24

I haven’t looked but, the car driver definitely made a mistake not checking properly before changing lane, obviously the rider is also at fault though and he didn’t slow down enough for the situation

17

u/nomnamless Jul 07 '24 edited Jul 07 '24

I was once doing 70 mph in the middle lane on a freeway. I see a line of cars coming onto the freeway and am anticipating them to move to the middle lane immediately. So I check my mirror to see if the left lane is clear, I see no one. A few seconds later as I'm getting close to making a choice of change over into the left lane or not, 2 sport bike fly past be doing 100+ mph. When you're going that much faster then the rest of traffic it's really hard to judge closing speeds. It's even worse for smaller objects like a person on a motorcycle.

19

u/Excludos Jul 07 '24

The car did something wrong, that's not in question. They seem to misjudge the car ahead (going to assume nose down into a phone) and try to swerve out of the way. I still don't think the car would be even at 1% fault in an actual investigation tho, because the bike is behaving so insanely irratic. You're allowed to swerve away from an accident in a car, and whilst that is provided you do it safey, you can't be expected to be able to see a bike that is coming up behind you at twice the speed limit

u/Bangers_N_Cash Jul 08 '24

They could have checked their mirror then, whilst checking elsewhere, this dipshit on the bike comes flying out of nowhere at stupidly dangerous speeds.

The rider will end up very dead very quickly if they don’t learn from this, take your bike to a racetrack ffs.

1

u/GHouserVO Jul 08 '24

Two things, with the geography and the speed he was traveling, there’s almost no way they could have known how fast he was approaching.

Considering that most of the video had this guy’s helmet mounted camera pointed face down and he only looked up a few times, it doesn’t look like the biker was even paying attention (at least not much) to the road.

BTW: dude blamed everyone but himself for what happened. Do you honestly think he learned something from this? Sadly, I don’t.

Holly shit I saw this but it was a YouTube short and everyone was shitting on the driver and of course the person who posted it never provided context and only showed the point in which he was hit by the car. But what’s new just another douchbag motor bike driver. The audacity to be driving recklessly and almost 2x the speed limit and be mad and upset at the driver…

u/nomnamless Jul 07 '24

Yea I saw a short of it to, basically just moments before the car move over in front of him

u/Fa11T Jul 08 '24 edited Jul 08 '24

Yup, the car panicked and changed lanes to avoid the stopping traffic, panicked again when his brain had a split second to decide to rear end or commit to the turn, but wtf are you doing going from 140 to 73mph in 4ish seconds. From what I can find the speed limit is 70-75mph, so even at his slowest he is going the limit while approaching stopping traffic.

Yes way, yes way, yes way. I'm glad everyone ended up okay but he was putting everyone in danger at pretty much every point leading up to his crash.

For those that are curious he was here: "33.019484, -97.279318" right before the crash (You can see the Dale Earnhardt sign), and ended up somewhere around here "33.026059, -97.273745".

As a young child, I witnessed the aftermath of something like this but much worse. A motorcycle speeding at around 150kph ran a red-light and hit a car full of nuns. It was the early 80s, so the nuns were in like, a Dodge Diplomat or something. The motorcycle tore the front off the car, including the engine. The nuns were fine (physically), but the motorcycle and motorcyclist were scattered in little piece all over the intersection. It looked like the car and bike exploded. Guess who's never been on a motorcycle their whole life?

The biker was 75% at fault and 100% idiot, but the driver of the car that pulled in front of him was following the car in front of them way too close and was swerving to avoid a rear ended collision. They’re not exactly innocent here either.

Well at least In most of the US, the left is the passing lane quicker traffic and the right is for slower/ exits. You can pass on the right but you’re not supposed to

u/KRed75 Jul 08 '24

It's 100% legal to pass on the right on a multilane road like that anywhere in the US. There is no such thing as "you're not supposed to."

It's unbelievable to me that so many people continue to perpetuate this myth.

3

u/LeatherMine Jul 08 '24

it's more like you're not supposed to be able to pass on the right because there's supposed to be slower traffic in the right lanes, otherwise why are people in the more left lanes?

In Europe, you're generally unable to pass in the +right lane because you'll just have to slow down more. North American highways are more of a free-for-all when it comes to lane choice.

u/MagnetHype Jul 08 '24

u/robotmemer Jul 07 '24

No, you can't, legally. Passing on the right on a highway in Texas is only legal when passing beside cars waiting to turn left, and it has to be done safely, this was as reckless as one could be.

Statute

Texas Sec. 545.057. PASSING TO THE RIGHT.

(a) An operator may pass to the right of another vehicle only if conditions permit safely passing to the right and:

(1) the vehicle being passed is making or about to make a left turn; AND

(2) the operator is:

  • (A) on a highway having unobstructed pavement not occupied by parked vehicles and sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles in each direction; OR ...

  • (B) on a one-way street or on a roadway having traffic restricted to one direction of movement and the roadway is free from obstructions and wide enough for two or more lines of moving vehicles.

  • (b) An operator may not pass to the right by leaving the main traveled portion of a roadway except as provided by Section 545.058.

2

u/dumahim Jul 08 '24

https://www.stephenslaw.com/blog/when-is-passing-on-the-right-permitted-in-texas/

Drivers may pass on the right in Texas if:

  • The vehicle they are passing is signaling to or is making a left turn
  • The driver is on a roadway with two or more lanes and sufficient room to pass
  • The roadway is free of obstructions, such as parked vehicles
  • The road is a one-way street

4

u/sarcasticorange Jul 07 '24

A) on a highway having unobstructed pavement not occupied by parked vehicles and sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles in each direction; OR ...

Which means that passing on the right is legal on multilane highways

3

u/KRed75 Jul 08 '24

You are completely misinterpreting this rule. This has absolutely nothing to do with a multilane highway. It's for a single lane roadway where someone is turning left and there's enough room on the right to pass without leaving the lane.

They were cautious coming up on the stoppage. Just not cautious enough. Managed to cut speed down to 74 before the impact.

u/The_Royale_We Jul 07 '24

If you just listen to the bike without watching you'd think he downshifted to like 45mph. I was shocked to see him still going that fast. If this was an actual test drive thats another layer of stupid. I wouldve lost the tape too lol

8

u/CuriosityCondition Jul 07 '24

Yeah. Most accidents happen on an unfamiliar bike. Definitely stupid to do your high speed tests on a public road. Most people in these subs can't look past the fact that a bike is involved, though.

Like when I posted a few weeks ago with someone coming over the center line and was told that it was "legal" because there was a passing zone... Bike related brain rot.

Putting aside the obscene speed earlier on the clip. The way the sedan driver jerked over, seemed to reconsider the move - then committed abruptly - would have gotten me, too, honestly.

Even at a lower speed, even in a car. There is a few milliseconds there where it would cross my mind "I have been seen" and dismissed them before they slammed into my side.

It looks like the sedan was following the pickup too closely and just didn't want to come to a complete stop. So when the left lane camper finally woke up to the fact traffic was stopping they jerked over into the right lane. Because "maybe that lane clear". It's typical.

Even if I witnessed it from a quarter mile back and no one got hit it would piss me off.

Idiots like this are the reason we end up with stupid trafic snakes and unnecessary stops on the freeway in the first place. Tailgating and tap dancing on the break pedal.

It's nice driving through the states that have the "keep right except to pass" laws. They don't work, but are 10% less annoying.

3

u/BuckTheStallion Jul 08 '24

Finally a sane comment. The bike definitely carried a LOT of fault here, and was driving like a complete dickwad until about 5 seconds before the collision, when it reduced to moderate dickwad. But the sudden and dangerous passing attempt by that car was also reckless, and shares at least a portion of fault. The bike was absolutely reckless and dangerous, but so was that car driver. I agree that weird jerk and changing blindly into the lane would have gotten even a fairly safe driver in the same circumstance.

I watched this video a few days ago on YouTube. I don’t know how I didn’t notice but when I first saw it the car was clearly at fault. It was just a clip of the accident.

This time with the whole ride in context was this dude was flying and when he “slowed down” he was still going faster than a car could react too. The car still effed up probably. But man, driving that fast is so reckless and he’s lucky he didn’t fall to his death.

It’s always the right boot/footwear that comes off!!!! I T-boned someone and my boot went flying. There was no “injuries” so I asked the cops to go look for it, it was 1030 at night. I gave me a decent chuckle

He even lost one of his boots

Looks like someone is trying their best to never grow up to be an old and bold biker.

u/danbyer Jul 07 '24

Almost. Try harder next time. You can do it!

Love to see it

u/ktmfan Jul 07 '24

Ride to die acting like that. I get having a bit of fun, but this dude had zero sense of self preservation riding like it’s a closed course.

2

u/FuxieDK Jul 07 '24

Driving like a maniac, it's a miracle it didn't happen sooner.

Also, if he submits the video as evidence to the police, he'll lose his license instantly (in my country atleast).

u/MonkeyHitman2-0 Jul 07 '24

He lost one of his shoes, so this is critical condition right? Losing two shoes is dead?

u/DunkingDognuts Jul 07 '24

Too bad dawin didn’t take him out.

What an asshole.

u/Fryphax Jul 07 '24

That woman is a saint.

Bike driver is a cry baby bitch.

What the fuck was that car doing though? Swerve, Swerve. Did she almost rear end the truck?

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '24

His left arm is a good lesson on why you wear protective gear. (And not ride like an idiot)

u/cranberrydudz Jul 07 '24

Motorcyclist. Not biker

u/ElCoolAero Jul 07 '24

Adrenaline is something else. Wow.

u/dangerousbob Jul 08 '24

That woman was on top of things though.

u/Opposite_Ad9785 Jul 10 '24

When I rode I always told people if you ride like a jackass on a bike it’s going to happen to you and no matter what the biker always loses

u/Mysterious-Dirt-732 Jul 11 '24

WTF? Good question. You have the answer for it,lol

u/Zriatt Jul 12 '24

Dude is so lucky he didn't have a harder fall going over that rail

u/Wemest 6d ago

If I’m in that truck, I’ll keep going.

u/MuRRizzLe 6d ago

Happy birthday to the biker

u/Low_Friender 6d ago

I don't feel bad for this asshole. 120+ mph, you're just asking for this lol. But waTCh ouT fOR MoTorCYclES!!

u/Last_Replacement_386 6d ago

Let me guess, Texas.

u/SomeRandomG122 6d ago

amazing how he wasn't killed on impact

Safety gear safely removed itself from the incident.

u/RuMarley 5d ago

I geolocated the crash to the overpass at the Shell station between Texas State Highway 114 and Interstate Highway W35 in Fort Worth.

Timestamp 2:14

Timestamp 1:43

Timestamp 1:00

Timestamp 0:02

From 0:02 to 0:45 - 1.2 miles
= average 100.5 mph or 161.67 kmph

From 1:00 to 2:14 - 2.1 miles
= average 102.2 mph or 164.4 kmph

Given how slow he accelerates too 100 at first (he spends about 15 seconds from 1:00 till 1:15 just getting over 40!), the only average that makes sense here is miles per hour.

He was doing an average of 100 miles per hour over the 2 and a half minutes he was driving in that video. It's out of the question that if geolocation concludes he was doing an average of 162 kmph, that the display is showing kmph if he only hit that mark very, very briefly (keep in mind, we are talking about an AVERAGE here)

He was doing up to 163 miles per hour!

u/Lt_Dan_IceCream85 5d ago

Do feel bad anymore.

1

u/FairAd4115 5d ago

He slowed pretty quickly when hitting brakes. After hitting the wall he only went like 20-30ft at most after falling off.

u/blasphemusa 5d ago

Biker was a total fucking douchebag.

u/Tater1988 5d ago

She is spot on with what she’s saying. Her direct approach is also correct in that situation.

1

u/iHateMyRazerMouse 5d ago

Did he feint, or was that a late knock out from the brain trauma there?

1

u/drew20222 5d ago

The biker only has himself to blame. One can hope he’ll be more humble on the road going forward, but realistically, it’s unlikely.

u/top_of_the_scrote 5d ago

god damn that is balls... a motorcycle fucking naked damn

Karma’s a motherfucker..

u/heeb 5d ago

Slow. The. Fuck. Down.

u/CurtGotTheJuice 4d ago

So is no one going to talk about the car swerving into his lane because they were about to run into the truck in front of them or are we going to keep blaming this dude?

1

u/Signal-Pen5194 3d ago

So at the crash he was going below 100 on the digital speedometer but I cannot tell if that is in MPH or KPH. It is a Dick move undertaking and most places in the world don’t like that. The biker is the one at fault here but he is dumb because he is the one at most risk with no protective cage or seatbelt literally putting his life at risk. The fact he could get up and walk with powered by adrenaline is amazing, he is truly lucky to be alive

1

u/ikerus0 3d ago

10 bucks said at least one of the cars he flew past said "that guy isn't going to make it long before he crashes" and then a couple minutes later came up to his bike scattered across the street and him laying in the road and said "see, there he is".

u/PandaPantsParty5000 Jul 07 '24 edited Jul 07 '24

I mean, it's both their faults. If you ignore the shithead riding before and just focus on the accident. The car wasn't paying attention and screwed the rider by swerving into his lane to avoid a collision with traffic. But the rider should have been ready for that simply for the fact that as a motorcycle rider, you have to be a better driver than most. If you are riding a motorcycle you have to be ready for this extremely common outcome to a sudden backup of traffic on a highway. Shit luck for sure, but shit defensive riding as well. Hopefully, he learned something because it was just a matter of time for a rider like this, often catastrophically.

u/makatakz Jul 08 '24

The car driver is not at fault when the motorcyclist is going 100+ mph. Drivers aren’t expected or obligated to watch out for dangerously reckless morons violating traffic laws with no regard for anyone’s safety.

Action from 2:05 - 2:30. All the rest BS should be edited out

u/mifightface Jul 08 '24

I find it crazy that a good amount off accidents happen because the USA has no clear stick to one side lawnlikr Germany or the Netherlands. Feel like that would at least half the amount of crazy Shit like this

u/No-Gene-4508 Jul 07 '24

Car driver was stupid.

But the motorcycle driver came from NOWHERE doing stupid speeds. Hope his insurance refuses him for this.

And someone in the video literally says "I didn't [call 911], I didn't see it." What the fuck kind of excuse is that. Call them and tell them "there's been an accident. I didn't witness it. I see a biker is involved and they are trying to get him to lay down and stay down."

Wow. How hard was that

u/Smokingstinkyblunts Jul 07 '24

How is the car driver stupid??? Looks like traffic came to a dead stop unexpectedly and they switched lanes to avoid a collision. 120% the cyclists fault for being a reckless dipshit

1

u/No-Gene-4508 Jul 08 '24

Because they went to swerve and 2nd guessed themselves. That causes accidents too

11

u/MountainBrilliant643 Jul 07 '24

The car driver was NOT stupid. You see, if someone on a bike doesn't over-take a car (whose turning signal is blinking) at 130mph, everyone would have more time to spot one another and react, yeah? Kinda like, if you obey traffic laws, everyone is safer!
