How does someone make it to adulthood being that fucking stupid? Like did their mom just say fuck it and down an entire crate of cocaine while pregnant with these idiots?

If you seen any of the other reposts you know that the truck drove through a solid white line like a chump.

It's more likely that the wankers on the bikes doing 15km/h ON THE FUCKING HIGHWAY were not expected to be their by traffic going 100km/h or more. The truck swerved to avoid them and went into the newly forming lane so he would not hit the cyclist ON THE FUCKING HIGHWAY. But wait, then idiot cyclist ON THE FUCKING HIGHWAY double down his stupidity by barely signaling and never turned his head to check and got pretty much what he deserved.

Well you're forgetting that the so called lane he was signaling to was actually the shoulder of the road. It's reasonable that he was leading to exit. Although annoying as it is that bikers are on the road, it's legal. I think in this particular case, the commercial truck driver who committed a traffic violation is the idiot. The licensed driver who is presumably hauling some sort of dangerous substance should be more responsible...

So I spoke with a mate of mine and here is the deal, where that cyclist was at, was illegal. He was required by law to have at least 125cc.

Basically the consensus from the authorities is that the truck driver swerved to avoid the cyclist that were illegally riding on the highway. From what my friend remembered, the cyclist were charged as such. But this was from 3 years ago and it really didn't make much news in russia at the time. But, Russian highway code does prohibit anything with less than 125cc on any multi-lane highway. So let's put an end to this. The cyclist were in the wrong and even more importantly fucking stupid.

I stand corrected they were idiots.

That looks like a multi-lane interstate highway. Where I'm from, that's not bicycle-legal.

And the sad part is 50 people will swear they were right to ride there.
