i think its russia..... im having trouble deciding what the biggest problem is.... over fast motorcycles with no clue... or speeding cars, making random tuns for no reason..
insane... no way would i want to drive there.. much less ride a bike. 
lots of pretty graphic wrecks... so, prob not safe for work. WTF?!?! are there no traffic laws at all/? people just randomly turning, doing u turns, stopping... running stop signs, or no stop signs...pedestrians getting run down by bikes... bikes getting run down by cars, cars getting run down by trucks. holy shit..... its like a traffic free for all over there. real life fucking mad max..
the wreck at 3;50 is pretty cool though....

I like the one with the girl driving the out-of-control moped with her boyfriend on the back, runs into a car with a guy playing "I can't drive 55" at the time of the accident.

Yeah, that one at 3:50 was crazy.
That's a little over 10 minutes of why I don't own a motorcycle. |

#1 reason I quit riding. That said about 60-70% of those were the riders fault and were preventable if the people on the bikes payed more attention and slowed down.

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.

A lack of traffic laws don't look like the main problem, it looks like no one gives a fuck what's in front of them.
Maybe they need louder pipes? |

It's probably no worse than some of the stuff that happens here, but holy cow - that was BRUTAL to watch. I would say in HALF the cases it was the fault of the motorcycle rider. It's crazy how careless some of them were. Several fatalities in there for sure.

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

I learned how to ride a motercycle in Nepal. I hopped on a Honda NX Tornado 250 for what was basically my first time ever in downtown Khatmandu and proceeded to ride into the foothills of the Himalayan mountains with my friends.
It was an absolutely incredible experience that I was lucky to survive
The law of tonnage applies to all disputes of right of way i.e. you yield to a vehicle with higher mass. That car barreling towards you? He has right of way! That dump truck about to cut the car off? He has right of way! Pedestrians? Ignore'em they will navigate through traffic around you. So many awesome experiences on that trip. You haven't lived until you have gotten stuck between a Indian made bus and a Russian made truck on a twisty mountain road... That moment when I decided to pass and the road kept getting narrower, and narrower, and narrower... The wine of engine in the thin air... The shear drop off... And suddenly clearing the front of the bus just in time. |

The one at 1:30 happened in the US. The car the biker hit was a rental of a guy on vacation IIRC.

A motorcycle cop that I know , quit the force entirely due to escaping death a couple of times. I visited him in the ERs a couple of times and asked him each time when was he going to give it up . With his blue lights on and siren on a rich bitch pulled out in front of him. Bad part was her lawyer snake got her off.
After his wife had twin girls he gave it up . Riding and law enforcement. gd |
