Close Call 01-21-2021
youtu.be/lQYX-c5Vjx0 https://youtu.be/lQYX-c5Vjx0 Watching dash-cam footage, it is pretty obvious the driver was on the phone / texting / something like that. Dash-cam : Mobius Horn(s) : PIAA 85112 (500Hz + 600Hz) and Wolo Bad Boy |

i don't like passing cars so slowly, especially if they have their turn signals on, you stay in the blind spot too long
stay safe

He had just passed a semi. Should have expected him/her to pass the next slower moving vehicle he was closing in on.

The driver was clearly unattentive. Glad you have dodged it.
I had a similar one a while back (skip to about half way of the video). Stay safe folks. youtu.be/jzWhZOJHPQY Last edited by Buloong; 01-16-2021 at 02:26 PM.. |

In the OP's case, here's clues without needing to guess other driver's state: 1. Car signals they want to move into my lane 2. both of you were catching car in lane to right. 3. you were in his blind-spot pretty much entire time That data just tells me to move left one lane and zoom past them both.

But how could you NOT blame the driver in this situation? The only think I blame Buloong for is saying to go half way in, when action happens only 11 seconds from the end of the video.

If the goal is to avoid accidents while you're riding a motorcycle then the OP needs to address some issues with his/her riding. This close call could have easily been avoided by the OP even if the car driver was legally at fault had they collided.
