Accident at traffic light

dickwol · 02-14-2005

I found this on another cycle site and it sure did give me the willies!
Apparently the video was taken from a police cruiser that had just pulled someone over for a traffic stop. I don't think that the biker at the red light had any chance at all. If I was to learn anything from this it may be that I should not sit at red lights in neutral!!!

I'd like to know if the biker made it or not. How tragic. It's just a reminder to us all to have it in 1st when stopped, with our minds also attentive to what's going on behind us as well, in order to save ourselves in the event that it happens to us...

Yeah I know what you mean. With my finished honda my mirrors are only for appearence I wouldn't be able to see something like that coming. With the pipes that loud I probably wouldn't hear him coming until it was too late......It really makes me think about the design.........ah screw it, whatever happens, happens.
