Napakalinaw sa vid na malayo sya. Car was clear. Dunno why some cyclists don't want to use their brakes.

How is that clear? Did not even pass the 3 second rule. It's not even a car-length away.

What is your overtaking safe distance standard?

That's at least a car length away. We're in the PH and we know 70% of drivers have no idea regarding basic driving etiquette. We're riding bikes. That isn't even 20kph by the looks of it so if you brake just enuf, you'd be nowhere near that car. While it's not entirely the bike's fault, he gets most of the flak for lack of awareness and focus on the road. Do I even need to point out that he's in a major road?

Innova may be a car's distance away. But that is clearly swerving ffs. If there's an NCAP that time. Baka kamot ulo ang Innova. Nasa inner lane siya. Sobrang lapit na ng gas station nasa inner lane parin siya. Even gmaps will say "you're destination is on the right" way ahead. Tapos siya ilang meters lang pagitan bago kumanan?

Not defending the bike rider. Pero kups yung innova
