What was this guy thinking?
Probably "Oh, s***"
But assuming the lights were green for the two-wheeler, he''s got some good evidence to have the SUV driver charged with failing to yield or more. And it should make his insurance claim a lot easier.

i used to drive a tow truck years ago and when responding to a accident the shoes are the first thing to come off when people get hit, now i saw this on the news today and it is one of my biggest fears that people think they can make the turns and do it b4 you get there
NO BIKE AT THIS TIME

According to statistics, more than half of two vehicle motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers making a left turn in front of the motorcyclist.

That's one of main reasons I have a headlight modulator.

Saw the report on the news tonight. The Bike had the green light. SUV failed to yield. The biker was interviewed. Seemed to be OK. His wife and daughter were following him in the car immediately behind him.

Happened to me on the highway. Luckily, I missed him. Still messing around with a knee injury 9 months later. Hoping for answers on Monday for a surgical consult. For those that don't have med pay on their insurance I would recommend it. I hadn't ever had to deal with something like this before. Wow is it an education!

Exactly what happened in Westport, CT yesterday. A female driver turned left in front of a 68 year old motorcyclist who did have the right of way. The police officer who directed me to turn onto another road & turn around said it was very bad, that the rider suffered multiple serious injuries. Even when you are right, you could be dead right.

It happened to me!!!
And it was not a good experience. I was on my Honda VFR Interceptor back in 2006 going home from work, and had a driver of a car drive out in front of me at a busy intersection. I was on the main road and had the right of way. He came off the side street and claimed he never saw me. Like in that video, I crashed into the vehicle and flew head over heals out in front of the car and slid on pavement for about ten feet. I too walked with very few injuries. I was thankful for the full dress riding gear that saved my head and skin. That video did bring back that memory. You need to be alert out there for sure!

Chase Hubby in the car when he's riding to or from the dealership. Would hate to have this happen right in front of me...
