analys of the crash any ideas?

[darrsi]

I've watched that video several times already as it was on a Facebook group I use and IMO it's 100% the lorry driver's fault.

The driver is taking the corner way too fast which forces him to run so wide that he virtually mounts the pavement on his off-side. He totally fails to make proper observation or look at what is in front of him.

The biker sees the lorry turning in, stops and waits, then there's the "Holy shit, he's not stopping" moment, by which time it's really too late for the biker to do anything, ie even sound the horn.

What pisses me off most, however, is the total lack of concern of the driver for the bloke he nearly killed...  :2guns

100% ?
Really?


Personally i would've just moved to the right, out of his path, with a couple of blasts of the air horn for good measure.
If he'd paid more attention to the road ahead of him, rather than twisting his head to the right to ogle that first girl then it would have been a different story, but regardless of that he still had time to move out of the way anyway.
It's a big fuck off sized lorry, it wasn't really hard to spot!
And shouting "Whoah" through a crash helmet to a lorry driver tends not to work so well either, it may do with a horse, but maybe using the horn may have got some better needed attention.
