Fatal motorbike crash.

[Jomty]

This is really an eye opener, I know a lot of us will admit to driving enthusiastically but this puts into perspective how easily and quickly these things happen.

It's not graphic in anyway but it shows the actual accident as it happens.

As you said " This is a really an eye opener"! So so easy to happen to anyone who rides a bike with a love for speed.

Jesus, That's crazy s**t

[Jomty]

Yeah, it really puts emphasis on "look and look again". The police report says the driver and the car behind both didn't see him, and he was doing 97mph at the time of collision.

The driver might not have seen him but he was doing almost 50% over the speed limit. As much as everyone enjoys a fast drive/ride, I think he was very foolish to do that kind of speed through a junction like that, especially on a bike

That was the Motorcyclists mistake , junctions , junctions , junctions are where the most danger is whether you are in a car or motorbike . Ask any other advanced trained driver/rider .

[Jomty]

Yeah obviously the bikers fault, as unfortunate as it is. There's another hard hitting ad they use in New Zealand or Australia. I'll try and find it.

Having hit more things than I care to admit on bikes with and without an engine, it really doesn't take much to put bones where they shouldn't be, you really have no chance at those speeds. 

Yes, he was speeding, he was IN for a good old time before the car made a move - he paid the ultimate price for putting his faith in the car driver.

Thoughts go out to his family. Rip.

Not good !!!!!

[Spankiee]

My heart just sank when you see the car turn. Then he's laid silent in the grass.

Just wanna give his mam a hug bless her

The bikers fault doing 100mph the driver in the car had no idea how quick that bike would get to him

Driver said he didn't see him.
If he DID see him, and had "no idea" or wasn't sure of his speed, then he shouldn't have crossed, or at the very least made a decent effort at crossing quickly.

Yes, the biker was at fault for speeding, but you don't pull out because someone else is doing wrong... I really hope he just didn't see him.

Either way, the biker paid the big price, RIP.

At point of impact his speed was 97mph. Allowing for possible error, slowing slightly from shutting the throttle or whatever, call it 100mph traveling speed. That's 66% over the speed limit.

The biker had little chance once the car driver looked and registered only a car coming towards him at legal speeds. Unfortunately for the biker that was his moment (the moment that all bikers have which defines the rest of their lives) and he didn't survive it. I was lucky, I survived mine. Never ridden a bike since, and I know that's the reason I'm still alive now. If I'd stayed on a bike I'd certainly be dead now because I was just like him.
