Killer Cars
Last night as I was riding through town and trying various options for making videos, I very nearly filmed my own death.
The most common motorcycle accident is someone turning left, legally or illegally, across the path of the motorcycle. That is exactly what happened to me last night.
Here are a few screen captures from my video:
I was moving along at a pretty fast speed when suddenly a car began making an illegal U-turn directly in front of me. Notice he is starting to cross the center lineonly a few yards in front of me.
As he continues to intrude into my line, I react by moving right as quickly as possible.
He paused just long enough for me to manage to move far enough to the right to scream past him as he continued to make his illegal turn.
This guy definitely would have gotten a golf ball in his windshield if I had not left it in my office.
