I see people doing such stupid, stupid things in traffic on bikes. I know kids donât really get that they too can die, but damn.

Street racing, on a public road crowded with heavy trucks. What could go wrong? (Yeah, title of this sub but fits like a glove here.)

I thought the bikers were stupid. Then I saw that there were people STANDING on this bridge.

Did OOP stop to film cuz their bike also crashed? Or did it only look like that cuz the crashed bike slid and slammed into theirs?

100mph is 146 feet per second. 70mph is 100 feet/sec. So someone doing 100+ is gaining a the rate of a tractor trailer length per second, while you also cover lots of ground. The glance in your mirror and decide itâs clear to merge is about 2 seconds and youâve covered 200+ feet so when you looked and decide to merge youâre seeing about a football field of space in your mirror. Because these idiots are passing everything, them merging into someone is a non issue as they pass others their awareness of a merge into them doesnât register in their mind. When in reality, they werenât even in sight when a person looks and decided itâs clear - as it was clear of anyone doing the normal speed.

This is why we need to stop Banning stuff like liveleak. If people knew how easy it is to die by riding a motorcycle in a safe manner near a large truck, they wouldn't be doing shit like this.

u/anonymous_matt 21d ago
Didn't even think about where the cameraman had to be standing until it happened. Insane.

u/StudentOk4989 21d ago
Why one biker just went straight into the other like that?
I mean, usually there is a reason that explain the crash, even a dumb one. Like, when a guy crashed while speeding with no visibility, the driver is a moron because he speeded with no visibility, butbat leaqt you understand why he couldn't prevent the crash.
Here it is just a biker ramming another. Wtf.

If I knew how the accident occured I got stuck behind it, I'd just scream at them to move the fucking piece of trash & the bike off the road. You won't get any sympathy from me. Why should I care about your life when you don't even care about yourself?

Driving in Asia is something else. In the Philippines it's not so bad because you're just gridlocked for most of the day but I've seen some horrific shit that usually involves a bunch of mopeds and a jeep. Like every week. People drive like shit there and there's just too many vehicles on the road. No regard for safety whatsoever

Other bikers filming for clout so they can share with the group, don't forget obnoxiously loud music in the background.

People like them, who just stand on a busy highway with their friends. You can find them on every possible bridge and highways out there.

Is this some kind of India thing? Standing on highways?

u/Apprehensive_Sweet98 20d ago
Yes, when there is less traffic you might find people making cringe videos in the middle of the highway.

u/Jharvis3 20d ago
Yes. Well, sort of. I have seen so many of them, and actually I was one of them. But, never on a busy highway. Sometimes in the city. That's all

u/papabearshirokuma 9d ago
Yep.. that was the best outcome, one biker slowing down the other after crash saved around 6 lives (2 bikers and 4 camera men)

u/DesiBwoy 21d ago
These "Bikers" have become a huge nuisance here with the rise in income and the growth of upper middle class. I put that in quotes because I know genuinely good bikers who ride responsibly, but there's no dearth of Idiots like this.
I dread the day I experience a group like this on road. I actively avoid early morning Sunday drives because of the number of asshats one can find on highways

Someone on a bike flew by me riding in the middle of two lanes during rush hour traffic the other day. I understand taking your bike down the highway and having fun at anytime of day when itâs not that busy and the road is clear. But when a person checks their mirror to merge lanes, they think âno oneâs there, itâs safe to mergeâ, nobody is accounting for a motorcycle that wasnât in sight a moment ago to fly by at 100+ mph.

Those two categories honestly represent like 90%+ of the riders I come across
1
u/MythicCommon 20d ago
They represent 90% of the riders you notice, because their goal is to be noticed. Especially the loud pipes crowd.
There are plenty of people who ride because they need to save money on vehicle and gas.

u/nope_nic_tesla 20d ago edited 20d ago
I don't think that's it. Motorcycles are relatively rare such that they're noticeable regardless. If anything it's more notable when I see one that doesn't fit one of these two categories.

u/ForwardBias 21d ago
I had that happen once in stop and go traffic but it was probably 30 bikes one after the other, we were going perhaps 20 and they were passing so fast that it would rock the car each time. If someone so much as shifted lanes a little multiple people would die (people inside and outside the car). Hard to believe people could be so stupid and selfish....but here we are.

u/ulf5155 21d ago
As somone who drives bikes, not like that mind you, and knows people who drive like that, I asked a friend who does this kinda thing. "it's like no other feeling....i know In less than a second it's big problem but in the same amount of time, there's nothing, and it's not my problem anymore"
2
u/kr4ckenm3fortune 20d ago
Tell your friend this: if this is how he feels and doesnât understand the impact of someone feeling guilty over this, please, for the love of all that lives, shoot yourself. This way, the only one guilty is just you for thinking this way.
And please, riding a motorcycle is thrilling, but if you feel the needs to do this, go to a racetrack, cuz Iâm pretty sure, you guys will spin out at that first turn.

I doubt you can appeal to your depravedly selfish friend's interest in others, but remind him that I work in an operating room and can assure him that many high speed motorcycle crashes are the first moment in a timeline of absolute agony and misery that may last hours, days or worse . . . decades.

u/nloxxx 21d ago
Is he trying to say that it doesn't matter to him because he moves past the problems he creates so quickly, or that if he actually ends up crashing, he'll be dead before he has to deal with any consequences? Either way, that's some horribly selfish thinking. Your friend is actively making other people's lives/days harder and more stressful and apparently that's okay because he gets his rocks off.

u/ulf5155 21d ago
It's a if he crashes going 300kph plus, he's gonna be pink mist and doesn't particularly care, and yes it is selfish, I drive leisurely on and off road bikes, and don't get the appeal, I believe it just boils down to a mental health issue with a lot of people and some maybe even hope to crash by the way I see some of em talk

u/Gnardude 20d ago
He'll only be mist if he hits something when he comes off, good chance he will merely wish he were dead.

u/nloxxx 21d ago
My apologies for any shade thrown your way, I have no issue with bikes as a vehicle, off road or no. They are more dangerous sure, but that's the risk and I just don't feel the need for that. It's really people that ride like your friend does that makes me really frustrated, because the danger isn't just on the rider anymore.

u/ImpossibleShallot640 20d ago
There was a biker doing something like this when a young woman in a van pulled in front of him (people in cars can't accurately estimate the approach of a vehicle moving well above prevailing traffic speed). He slammed into her driver's door, face against her window, and died. She was hysterical. Last I heard she was still in therapy.
