Never pass on the right, be careful passing on the left, and always remember that every car has a moron behind the wheel.

Most every accident in that video was avoidable.

...and while only a few were actually the fault of the biker, most of those riders were obviously inattentive, or foolhardy.  I mean, some of the bikes were just blurs in the camera they were travelling so fast...

I know - I was one of those idiots back when I was young and indestructible - technically it was the other vehicle that got the blame when I T-boned it at 70 mph...  They ran a stop sign.
BUT had I been going the speed limit I might have been able to stop, or had time and room enough to avoid the accident altogether...

I guess at least some of us only learn things the hard way.  I know I'll never approach an intersection the same way again.

simply amazing how many in car cameras, catching themselves and others crashing folks....

love the shirtless dude @ 5:20 trying to figure why he wrecked.... likely excess suntan lotion dripped on that Hog Tire...meh...

on a sadder side, the yellow truck left turn crash is exactly how my brother in law bought it and cashed in his chips back in the early 80's... :(  but it was actually a big articulated front end loader that turned left bucket 4 feet off the ground, without warning, as he was attempting a pass.
