I didn't keep a tally, but it seems about 50% of the time it was the motorcyclist's fault, and 50% the driver's fault.

Interesting how many people have Go Pros.

in Europe insurance scams are a huge deal.

you can watch the videos of people jumping out in front of slow moving cars and running theirs in reverse into the front of the car behind them.

Like 90% or more of those are cringe-worthy.

At least one of those collisions involved a semi broadsiding a motorcycle. I suspect that it didn't end well for the rider and his passenger.

Edit: Unless you have a very dark sense of sarcasm.

Until 2 years ago, I rode street bikes beginning when I turned 16 (I'm 58 now). After several close calls (involving cagers texting, cell phone, etc.) I said fuck it! Never riding on the street again. I'm too old for that shit!

So when two motorcyclists collide, do they still blame the 'cagers'?

They have no drivers training, there is no traffic enforcement and vodka.

I have been driven around by a Russian in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Samara, Russia. The Russian driver is more dangerous than Spetnaz.

There were quite a few limp rags after those collisions.

No way . I am not sure I would ride in a car over there without a cage and a firesuit . traffic lights and lines in the road appear to be vague suggestions

I rode around Moscow as a passenger in a number of private vehicles back in the early 1990s, plus unknown miles in busses. It was exciting at times.
