Friend of mine in motorcycle accident and got it on tape.
 

She is relatively fine, though aching quite a bit with good reason. Here’s the kicker about the whole incident, the driver of the Civic tried to say it was her fault. Little did the guy know that she had her helmet cam on during the incident. Here is a quote from my motorcycle board that my friend put up: “The officer who took the report already watched it too...he chuckled and said - "yeah, good thing you have that because the guy is saying you hit him. He said he was stopped and all you had to do was stop - but you didn't, you hit him." The more I watch the vid the more I want to crack the Civic drivers head in. How dare he try and lie his way out of this. What the hell was he doing anyway? How did he lock up his wheels to the point where he does a 180? He was probably sucking his own dick then looked up at the last minute. Even then he could have still slowed down without locking up his wheels.

Watch it for yourselves.

Nice to hear that your friend is realtively fine.

I also wonder what the f--k the civic-driver was doing. Either really poor brake balance in his car or he was doing a handbrake turn. Very strange.

jesus, what was that dipshit in the civic doing? bloody hell, id have the right mind to give him a piece right there, what a tool, looked like he pulled the handbrake as only the rears locked up?

Good to hear she is O.K. though, what sort of bike was she riding there?

Oh man, this is ******* :x
That Civic driver was real asshole. He deserves to cut off his arms so he can never drive a car.
Why is it always biker who pays for someone else??? :(

:shock: It is good see she is ok. It is why to you have use your helmet and riding gears.

Wow, good thing she was wearing the cam!

Maybe he pulled the e-brake, as in 'emergency-brake'. People should learn it's a parking-brake, you use it for parking, not when you have to do an emergency-stop!

umm....regardless of the moving or stopping, it is very clear that it is the civic's fault. What the fuck is he trying to achieve.............change lane? drifting? 180 stunt??...wtf?

I am glad ur friend is OK.......she should beat the crap out of the civic driver with that tape.

This is absolutely sickening for me to watch because seeing the vid I am speculating the guy did it on purpose :shock: Like others have said I dont know what the heck he thought he was doing but I am so glad there is some recorded evidence of this prick. He should be seeing some time inside for this.

+1 for helmetcams... I've been cut up a few times before or seen people do some REALLY stupid shit on the roads and thought, yeah I wish I was recording this.

I am glad to hear your friend is relatively ok, Min, very sorry to hear this though :(

Thats the trouble, over here it is called emergency brake. I have never seen a US driver use the handbrake on a hill or at lights before pulling away. They seem to use the footbrake and balance the clutch, whereas in the UK we get taught to use the handbrake in these scenarios. We also get taught to use the hardbrake when the car is parked, whereas most US people put it in 'P' (auto) or in 1st gear (manual) with no parking brake.

I think the US use the footbrake 99% of the time because most cars are automatics where of course you do use the footbrake on hills and at lights.

Thus, all points to the handbrake never being used normally in driving.

I stand to be corrected by any US people, this is just my experience vs. UK 'habits' when it comes to the handbrake.

Regardless, prickchops didnt need to use the hand/parking/emergency brake in this scenario... :x

I'm glad yourfriend has video evidence of the incident, this guy should face a sever punishment for his idiocy. A for causing injury to another person and B for lying to a policeofficer. And for f**ks sake, what a little pussy. A coward he is, nothing more. Causing an cciednt and then blaming the victim for it...it makes me sick. He should feel responsible for his actions instead of distorting the truth and counting on getting away with the crime :fist:

And how the hell was he going to argue about facing the wrong direction? A bike doesnt have enough inertia to 180 a car.

As for what happened... I dont buy the brake balance or the hand brake arguement, he was going in a straight line. More likely he swerved to the other lane on bald tires and slammed the brake at the same moment...Something he shouldnt be doing in the first place regardless of setup.

what a stupid fucker. obviously he's too cheap to buy the model with ABS, so as a result he panics when he sees brake lights ahead and then stomps on his brakes and locks up.

I'm glad she's ok though. I don't think she was paying attention when that lady called her a guy. Just goes to show the stereotype that is out there. Of course, leathers do kind of tend to hide certain features :|

On a lighter note, i think i speak for all of us when i say thanks for the cleavage shots :D

I cant agree more, this happened to me 1 1/2 years agao, my leg is disfigured for ever :(

glad to hear nothing searious :)

That brought back horrible memories for me, the most worrysome part of that video is the possibility of her getting caught under the car in the next lane. Glad to heat she's okay.

WTF?!?! Unbelievable. Some people don't deserve to have driver's licenses, and there's absolutely no excuse for what he did. The car in front of him didn't brake suddenly as far as I could tell...there were no obstacles around which he needed to be steering. I don't give a rat's ass if the brake balance was off or if he yanked the parking brake. I've driven enough FWD cars to know that if you yank the brake it doesn't mean that the rear is going to overtake the front of the car. You have to intentionally throw the car into a slide like that, and as far as I can tell, that's exactly what he did, look how far the wheels are cocked when he veers across into her lane. Fucking dumb ass shit. I'm glad your friend is relatively O.K. and I hope the Civic-dipshit does some civic-duty and gets fucked up the ass.

Damn, when you see this you do wonder if he wasn't doing it on purpose.

But it is hard to imagine that anybody would do something like that.

I know some people have small accidents on purpose if they can blame the other driver. This way if they have a scratch somewhere, they can accuse the other driver from that damage.
